| Description: | Biomedical Informatics Biomedical Informatics means different things to different people. It can and does encompass both Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics. The former, Bioinformatics, uses computational tools to explore the molecular information embedded in the human genome, proteins and signaling pathways to better understand complex biologic systems, the processes of disease, and to aid in developing new therapeutics. The latter, Medical Informatics, is the rapidly evolving field of applying information technology to clinical operations and patient care. Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is the most often cited example of this, but Medical Informatics is much broader and involves many new applications for collecting, storing, mining and managing information for a variety of clinical uses. While these are quite disparate areas of informatics, they have two things in common they both can impact human health and they both apply sophisticated digital technologies to do so. This year's forum will explore these aspects of Biomedical Informatics. Presenters will focus on the information technologies that companies use to produce Biomedical Informatics solutions, the challenges they encounter in developing these technologies, the customers they are working with and the problems they seek to solve. |
