Generative AI Analysis of Topics from IMIA Historical Narratives in Medical Informatics.

This describes a project that analyzes and compares the research topics in medical and health informatics emphasized by authors of autobiographical narratives contained in the online IMIA History eBook published in 2021, as the field advanced over the past half century in its international and interdisciplinary dimensions from its early days until the present.

Factors Influencing the Evolution of Topics in Biomedical Informatics.

Our study contributes to the history of international medical informatics through investigating the thematic evolution of the MEDINFO conferences during a period of consolidation and expansion of the discipline. The themes are examined and potential factors influencing the evolutionary developments are discussed.

50 Years of Achievements and Persistent Challenges for Biomedical and Health Informatics and John Mantas' Educational and Nursing Informatics Contributions.

Biomedical and Health Informatics (BMHI) have been essential catalysts for achievements in medical research and healthcare applications over the past 50 years. These include increasingly sophisticated information systems and data bases for documentation and processing, standardization of biomedical data, nomenclatures, and vocabularies to assist with large scale literature indexing and text analysis for information retrieval, and methods for computationally modeling and analyzing research and clinical data. Statistical and AI techniques for decision support, instrumentation integration, and workflow aids with improved data/information management tools are critical for scientific discoveries in the - omics revolutions with their related drug and vaccine breakthroughs and their translation to clinical and preventive healthcare.

Ethics in the History of Medical Informatics for Decision-Making: Early Challenges to Digital Health Goals.

Background: Inclusive digital health prioritizes public engagement through digital literacies and internet/web connectivity for advancing and scaling healthcare equitably by informatics technologies. This is badly needed, largely desirable and uncontroversial. However, historically, medical and healthcare practices and their informatics processes assume that individual clinical encounters between practitioners and patients are the indispensable foundation of clinical practice.
