Abstract

Technological advancements which have shown a substantial growth concerned with each and every field of humanity, the rapid development that has occurred in smart phones has become a very significant factor in achieving our daily tasks. Quite often, spatial search applications of smart phones do not effectively operate in the State of Sudan because they mainly rely on Google maps has lack of information of many health care units and therefore cannot deliver any results at all. This thesis aims to make an android application that is looking for hospitals with a specific specialization and choosing the distance between the user and its location with respect to the type of the health care unit: hospital, clinic or health center. Moreover it delivers brief information about it, with the ability of showing the location on the map, and also drawing the route between the user and the health care unit. By implementing and testing the application that has been able to reduce the problem, we were facing another problem. This is missing location data and information of some health care units in Google maps.
