Class Goals
1. To develop the skills and practices necessary to collaborate with medical researchers and create assistive and performance support applications.
2. To develop practical research oriented skills for interdisciplinary (or transdisciplinary) research.
3. To provide an overview of ongoing and emerging research topics in medical informatics.

When did Medical Informatics start?
A definition
Medical informatics is a systematic study of
the identification, collection, storage,
communication, retrieval, and analysis of data
about medical care services to improve
decisions made by clinicians.

Let’s try thinking of a solution…
• Hospital Waiting Room
• Waiting room is too small
• Need to utilize technology
• Decrease wait time
• Efficient use of resources
• Goal: Maximize the patients’ time getting medical attention
This is a real problem happening at local hospital!
Looking forward• Week 1 – Medical Informatics – Overview, Finding Papers• Week 2 – Pervasive Healthcare
• September 1 NO CLASS – Labor Day• Week 3 – Assistive Technologies• Week 4 – Qualitative Field Methods and Exercises
• September 17 NO CLASS – Field Exercise
