In this paper, we describe GeoHealth - a geographical information system prototype for home healthcare workers who during a normal workday have to attend clients and patients that are physically distributed over a large geographical area. Informed by field studies of work activities and interviews with the healthcare workers, we have designed an interactive location-based service for supporting distributed mobile collaboration. The prototype explores a representational approach to context-awareness and represents live contextual information about clients/patients, co-workers, current and scheduled work activities, and alarms adapted to the users' location. The prototype application is web-based and uses Google Maps, GPS positioning, and Web 2.0 technology to provide a lightweight dynamic and interactive representation of the work domain supporting distributed collaboration, communication, and peripheral awareness among nomadic workers.
