Last night, I had the opportunity to lecture at the Foundations of Personalized Health Care course offered at the University of Utah, of which I also TA. The next two weeks are on informatics so I provided an introductory overview of biomedical informatics (@2:00) and the different fields therein. I then discussed why health informatics will be necessary to achieve the promises of genetics and personalized health care (@15:30). I invite you to view the lecture entitled ‘Introduction to Biomedical Informatics for Personalized Health Care‘. I lecture from minute 2:00-29:30.
Following my lecture, my PhD adviser Kensaku Kawamoto, MD, PhD lectures on the role CDS plays in personalized health care. His lecture entitled ‘Clinical Decision Support for Genetically Guided Personalized Health Care‘ summarizes work he and we did in this area. His lecture starts at minute 30:00 and goes through 1:01:30. I also encourage you to listen to his lecture as well.
