Health informatics improves health care by using information technology in innovative ways to collect, analyse and manage health information.
eHealth, a broad term for health informatics, extends from the bench-top to the bedside through to population health. It offers health information and health care over communications networks, and includes tools for health authorities, clinicians, clients and consumers.
Significant research strengths in biomedical science and information technology at The University of Melbourne are being brought to bear on many aspects of the complex health informatics challenges facing us nationally and internationally.
We invite you to join us in this work.
