Abstract: In China，rare diseases have become an important public health issue and a social issue that cannot be neglected. To provide supports for rare disease patients and healthcare decision-making using rare disease big data，we developed the rare disease map using the ArcGIS technology：Firstly，systematically describing the functionality and drawing process of the rare disease map in accordance with the design objectives and the design process. Secondly，developing application modes of the rare disease map to visually demonstrate the paths and methods used for rare disease surveillance，risk assessment and analysis as well as information management. Our study provides ideas and technical routes for the development of a rare disease map，and our rare disease map may be used as a new tool aiding effective prevention and treatment，scientific management and in-depth research regarding rare diseases.
