Where to open a dialysis centre
Blocks with many older adults and few dialysis centres.
What it does
When planning a dialysis centre: blocks with the most residents over 50 and the fewest dialysis centres within 5 km, ranked, with a note by xMap AI.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Cairo, count who lives around, count the dialysis centers within 5 km of each, work out new fields, sort them by per_centre and keep the top 15, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Dialysis patients travel three times a week. A centre near them changes their lives.

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 180 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 3 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.

How to set it up
- Build your first flow in ten minutes: From a blank page to a flow that emails you a ranked list every morning.
- Ask the map a question: How many of a kind of place, how many people for each, and where the gaps are, answered on the spot.
- Count what is around each of your places: Competitors, footfall magnets or services within a distance of each site.
- Compare sites side by side: Two or three spots measured the same way, one column each, the best of every row marked and the best site and why.
- Site selection: Choosing where to open a store, branch, clinic or facility.
- Catchment area: The area a store or service draws its customers from.
- Location intelligence: Using where things are, and what is around them, to make business decisions.
