About the course
Course content
The subject is held biannually, or as needed.
The course focusses on the challenge of the duality between basic computer science and applied (healthcare) informatics research. Core problem areas selected by the students are analysed from different prespectives, and each student makes complementary article-sketches, both within application and basic theory.
Studies of the underlying research methods, manifested as structure of argument/article/experiment is important.
The core problems may be chosen from recent computer science research applied to clinical healthcare information systems, eg: Knowledge representation, development methods, inforamtion security, architecture, user interfaces, information analysis, data mining, machine learning, decision- and cooperation support.
