COSC 89.17 Health Informatics
Our health is everywhere. It is aff\u000Bected by how, where, and who we live, work & play with (i.e. biological, behavioral, social, and environmental factors). The explosion of data digitization{captured both outside `in the wild' and within the healthcare delivery system, allows us to understand and address the many factors a\u000Bffecting the complexity of our health. Today, health & healthcare data is continuously being generated by healthcare delivery systems, organizations, or users and can be accessed through devices, databases, or the web (e.g., APIs). Deriving information and knowledge to improve and support health requires health informatics. Data science plays an active role as a profession and within its research eff\u000Borts in informing and developing all aspects of health informatics: data capture, data storage, and data analytics.
