Introduction to Biomedical Informatics

Biomedical informatics (BMI) is an interdisciplinary field that uses biomedical data for scientific inquiry, problem-solving, and decision-making in efforts to improve human health.

This course provides a high-level introduction to the field and serves as a launchpad into other more focused courses that explore the computational and analytic needs of BMI, as well as clinical, research, and translational applications of informatics.

The course is broken into three parts:

  1. Foundational Tools and Technologies: What is BMI?; data management, storage, and representation; computational techniques; security; machine learning
  2. Imaging Informatics: Imaging modalities; standards (DICOM, IHE); quantitative imaging for detection and response assessment; imaging as a biomarker; digital pathology; machine learning applied to imaging
  3. Clinical Informatics: Health care environment and processes, standards, and systems in HIT; application of machine learning to clinical informatics problemsms.
