Bringing Medical Knowledge to Consumers
Developing a system for bringing medical knowledge to a consumer level is a challenge in health informatics today. Existing systems such as expert systems are computerized decision support systems that implement artificial intelligence to help provide advice when treating patients.

Joining Patients, Providers, and Hospitals Globally
Telemedicine, a branch of medicine that aims to connect patients and providers in alternative ways rather than face-to-face communication, is a rapidly expanding field that seeks to improve the quality and accessibility of patient health.

Artificial Intelligence Advancing Medicine
Artificial intelligence is aiding healthcare providers in data acquisition, management, and analysis. Previous topics discussed in relation to AI have been personalized medicine, drug repurposing, and data visualization. Predictive analysis is another way to improve efficiency and diagnoses with machine learning.

Big Data in Healthcare
Data analysis is a key part of how we make decisions and changes in medicine; through digitization of this data, researchers are able to reduce costs and improve outcomes.

The Importance of Studying Genomics
An exciting trend that has developed from studying human genomics is personalized medicine. By using genomic, epigenetic, and environmental exposure data to form a genetic profile, an informed diagnosis or treatment plan for patients can be better decided.
