Reference excerpt

Maged N. Kamel Boulos is a British health informatician, scientist and Full Professor of Digital Health with Sun Yat-sen University in China, having worked before that at the Alexander Graham Bell Centre of Digital Health, University of the Highlands and Islands, at the University of Plymouth, at the University of Bath and at City University London. Other held affiliations include Universidade de Lisboa (Visiting professor in 2022). He is particularly known for his research into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications in health and healthcare, which received wide news media coverage. He is credited with coining the phrases 'online consumer geoinformatics services' and 'wikification of GIS by the masses' in 2005, when neogeography and virtual globes were still very new. Kamel Boulos is Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Open Access, MEDLINE-indexed International Journal of Health Geographics, published by BioMed Central since 2002. He is co-chair of WG IV/4: Virtual Globes and Context-Aware Visualisation/Analysis within the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPR) Commission IV Geodatabases and Digital Mapping, 2008–2012.

Early life and education Kamel Boulos attended the Jesuit Collège de la Sainte Famille in Cairo and then studied at Ain Shams University. He went on to graduate with a Master of Science (MSc) in Health Informatics from King's College London's GKT School of Medical Education and complete a PhD in Measurement and Information of Medicine and at City, University of London.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Maged N. Kamel Boulos

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Maged N. Kamel Boulos claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Maged N. Kamel Boulos before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Maged N. Kamel Boulos ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Maged N. Kamel Boulos

In research: Maged N. Kamel Boulos appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Maged N. Kamel Boulos in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Maged N. Kamel Boulos is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Academic staff of Sun Yat-sen University, Academics of City, University of London, Academics of the University of Bath, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Maged N. Kamel Boulos outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
