Introduction The Informatics forHealth congress, 24-26 April 2017, in Manchester, UK, brought together the Medical Informatics Europe (MIE) conference and the Farr Institute International Conference
Health data science constituted 42% of submissions, as would be expected from the Farr community, the totality of contributions was quite evenly distributed across the sub-topics
As the National Health Service (NHS) moves towards ‘paperless’ operations and the ability to analyse and learn from ‘big data’ develops, it is increasingly important that clinicians understand health informatics (HI) and contribute to collection of high quality data at the clinical workface
Summary
The aim of these studies is to generate accurate epidemiological data and translate the findings to help individual practices deliver personalised care for patients These projects are supported by East Midlands Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care, local clinical commissioning groups, University Hospitals of Leicester, and Leicester’s Biomedical Informatics Network for Education, Research and Industry. Information visualization is an important aspect of the Precision in Symptom Self-Management (PriSSM) Center and our efforts range from infographics representing small data, such as blood pressure, physical activity levels, and self-reported anxiety levels designed for consumers/patients, (Figures A & B) to electronic dashboards for clinicians, and network diagrams of big data for research discovery of patterns and potential intervention targets (Figures C & D). The number of individuals with BP measurements and the number of BP measurements increased with increased observational periods
