Research scientists representing Regenstrief Institute, Indiana University School of Medicine and IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI are joining - and in some cases leading - the global health conversation at the 17th World Congress of Medical and Health Informatics (MedInfo).
MedInfo is the foremost international conference for the science and practice of biomedical informatics. Every two years, scientists, physicians, academicians, students, entrepreneurs, decision-makers and other professionals from around the world gather to share pioneering research and discuss leveraging information to improve human health. This year's event is in Lyon, France Aug. 25-30. The topic is: "Health and Wellbeing: E-Networks for all."
Regenstrief and IU researchers are presenting their work on topics including artificial intelligence, public health informatics, disease surveillance and more. They are also discussing opportunities for advancing the use of electronic health record data and opportunities for electronic care planning for chronic disease, as well as offering tutorials on public and population health informatics and LOINC®, a universal code developed at Regenstrief Institute that is used for health measurements in many countries and is necessary for the electronic exchange of health information.
The biennial conference is organized by the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA). The organization aims to promote informatics in healthcare, stimulate research and application and advance international cooperation and exchange of knowledge in informatics. This year, MedInfo is co-hosted by the French Association for the applications of medical informatics, "Association pour les Applications de l'Informatique en Médecine," an IMIA member society.
