Showcasing the Montana DPHHS CONNECT Directory Dashboard Experience Builder
Wednesday April 15, 2026 3:10pm - 3:40pm MDT
The Montana DPHHS CONNECT program described here provides critical health services to Montana community members. https://connectmontana.org/ , https://dphhs.mt.gov/publichealth/ConnectMT/CONNECTReferralSystem , To communicate what agencies participate in the program, DPHHS built a modernized GIS directory dashboard that makes great use of the ArcGIS Experience Builder platform. This application allows users to do a variety of spatial operations to interact and learn about the program that will be covered in this session. For those interested in spatial approaches for assessing access to care in rural places, this talk will be right up their alley. The dashboard has not yet been finalized but should be at time of presentation. Additional efforts on accessibility of the resource will be covered as well.

TrialWear: Integrating GIS in Clinical Trials to Save Lives
Wednesday April 15, 2026 3:45pm - 4:15pm MDT
TrialWear is a new medical device designed to improve health care outcomes in Montana and beyond. Developed by an interdisciplinary team from Montana State University, the device utilizes ArcGIS GeoEvent Server and built-in geofencing to alert providers when a clinical trial patient enters a medical facility. The goal of TrialWear is to promote rural representation in clinical trials by removing communication barriers between researchers and providers, allow more patients access to life-saving treatments, and increase the safety of clinical trial participants.
