Health informatics is the multidisciplinary study of designing, developing, and applying computational innovations to improve healthcare. It combines healthcare fields with computing fields, such as computer engineering, software engineering, and bioinformatics, to tackle a wide range of problems in the health domain. With the increasing use of electronic health records, telemedicine, and personalized medicine, health informatics has become a crucial aspect of modern healthcare. According to a report by the [[national-institutes-of-health|National Institutes of Health]], the global health informatics market is expected to reach $23.6 billion by 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 13.8%. The field has also seen significant advancements in recent years, with the development of new technologies such as [[artificial-intelligence|artificial intelligence]] and [[machine-learning|machine learning]]. For instance, a study published in the [[journal-of-the-american-medical-informatics-association|Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association]] found that the use of AI-powered chatbots can improve patient engagement and outcomes in chronic disease management. As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, health informatics is likely to play an increasingly important role in shaping the future of healthcare.
