Units: 3
Driven by efforts to improve human health and healthcare systems, this course will cover relevant topics at the intersection of people, health information, and technology. Specifically, we will survey the field of biomedical informatics that studies the effective uses of biomedical data, information, and knowledge from individuals (patients), populations, biomolecules, and cellular processes, for scientific inquiry, problem solving, and decision making. We will explore foundations and methods from both biomedical and computing perspectives, including hands-on experiences with systems, tools, and technologies in the healthcare ecosystem. May be convened with SIE/BME 577.
