Thanks to this book, it will be possible for readers to understand Health Informatics as a young scientific discipline compared to general computing, bioinformatics, bioengineering and medicine. The book introduces major journals in the field, major conferences, the national and international structures of the discipline, and the major sources of funding. Readers will find in the book the fundamentals of the large terminological resources in Health which are very difficult to understand (thesauri, classifications, ontology...). In terms of application, the book will include the main features of the software developed in the major structures of Health (hospital information systems, computerization of medical and dental practice, and pharmacies) with applications in various countries. The book will consider the ongoing revolution linked to the development of telemedicine and, more generally, to e-Health, smart home and disability help. Human factors, development of user interfaces will be considered.
