Abstract :

Historically, medical/health informatics have emerged from the desire to use digital resources in order to make healthcare systems more efficient and to make improvements to the health of individuals and of the population. Many industries, including health, have seen huge increases in the volume and variety of data available to them in recent years. In response, new disciplines have arisen to take full advantage of these new data resources. While there is a partial overlap between the scope of medical informatics and trendy disciplines such as big data, data mining, data science, and machine learning, it is natural to ask where medical informatics stands in this era. In this talk, we review the distinctive roles that each data discipline has played in current accomplishments in medical informatics. As the increase in magnitude and richness of health data often translates to evolving needs, we discuss the need to develop smarter tools that make full use of the health-related data. We also outline what the next chapter of innovations should contain for data disciplines to thrive as medical informatics application domain grows.
