Public health informatics

For the Final Project, you will prepare a four- to five-minute audiovisual presentation on a health informatics topic that includes the following:

  • Audiovisual format: To meet the audiovisual requirement, your project must contain something to see and something to hear; however, the format is up to you. Be sure to copy the link to your video,  paste it into a Word document and upload the document using the Assignment Submission button. Please review the following list of suggested free software:
  • Screencast-O-Matic is a freely available online tool that allows you to create and share screencasts.  Review the Screencast-O-Matic Quick-Start Guide for more information to help you get started.
  • You may also search on your own to locate a program of your choice.

Note: If you have difficulty creating or viewing videos using the programs above, you may need to update your browser.  To perform a browser check, view this HelpNow! video and learn how to update your browser.

  • Title page: Include a title page with the following:
  • Title of Final Project
  • Student’s name
  • Course name and number
  • Instructor’s name
  • Date submitted

  • components of health informatics

  • Topic: During this course, we explore many different components of health informatics.  Pick a topic of interest to you and prepare a four- to five-minute video.  This should reflect new information and not be a recap of information learned in this course or another course. Choose one topic from the list:
  • Evidence-based practice and informatics
  • Telehealth
  • Public health informatics
  • The evolving ePatient
  • International efforts, issues, and innovations related to informatics
  • Simulation in health care
  • Analytics and design-led innovations and management
  • Big data: challenges, opportunities, and realities
  • Incorporating mobile devices and sensors into daily routines.  The potential impact for mHealth is enormous. For example, an individual might spend 15 minutes or less per year with a primary-care physician, whereas the same person has nearly constant contact with a mobile device.
  • Applying clinical care guidelines on, and within, mobile platforms
  • Gathering and using data (particularly intensive longitudinal data) to study effectiveness of an mHealth intervention
  • Consumer informatics
  • Applications of social media in health care
  • Biomedical applications based on sensor data
  • Chronic disease management and preventative solutions
