10 captivating topics from medical informatics

The world of clinics is generating an immense amount of diverse data daily, unlocking a treasure trove for patients and research alike. The rapidly evolving field of Medical Informatics has introduced groundbreaking concepts, algorithms, and standards to drive this progress forward. However, navigating through complex terminologies and various implementations can pose challenges for those looking to step into this field.

In a recent Viewpoint published in JMIR, we shed light on 10 crucial topics aimed at fostering better interdisciplinary communication among different stakeholders like physicians, computational experts, experimentalists, students, and patient representatives. Our focus is on Medical Informatics research in Germany, but the insights are universally applicable.

The suggested topics provide a solid foundation for collaboration and include:

1.  Data regulations and concepts.
2. Data harmonization and processing.
3. Data evaluation, visualization, and dissemination.

Moreover, we demonstrate how these topics can be integrated into a comprehensive Medical Informatics curriculum for higher education, empowering the next generation of informatics enthusiasts. 

By engaging with these topics, you'll be able to:

(1) Understand the potential of Medical Informatics, making the most out of clinical and research data while respecting privacy and secure storage.
(2) Grasp current interoperability standards and learn about effective data transfer and analysis processes.
(3) Embrace innovative technical approaches to fully unleash the power of clinical data.
