A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Concept of health

The concept of health is the foundation for all health informatics work; it defines what a system should aim to preserve, improve, or restore. Mastering the various definitions (biomedical, WHO, holistic, and patient‑centric) and the dimensions of health (physical, mental, social, and functional) enables students to design data models, interpret clinical outcomes, and evaluate health information systems.
