ABSTRACT

Health informatics is a multidisciplinary field comprising information science/technology, biomedical technology, communication technology, computer science, social science, behavioral science, management science and statistical analysis for large-scale data analysis and hypothesis verification. Clinical informatics is a subfield of health informatics concerned with delivering healthcare service to patients. Nursing informatics is a subfield of clinical informatics that integrates nursing science with informatics. Computational Health Informatics pertains to using computers in health informatics. Health informatics requires similarity-based comparison to compare to find similar radiology images or similar feature-values in pathology reports to find out similar disease states. Some applications of computational health informatics are Electrocardiogram analysis, recovery response to medication, speech recognition, natural language understanding model, and gene detection during genome analysis. Uncertainty-based associates qualitative uncertainty factor with an outcome given an input where the same input may lead to multiple outputs.
