About This Book

"This book addresses how health apps, in-home measurement devices, telemedicine, data mining, and artificial intelligence and smart medical algorithms are all enabled by the transition to a digital health infrastructure
..it provides a comprehensive background with which to understand what is happening in healthcare informatics and why."— C. William Hanson, III, MD, Chief Medical Information Officer and Vice President, University of Pennsylvania Health System.

"This book is dedicated to the frontline healthcare workers, who through their courage and honor to their profession, helped maintain a reliable service to the population at large, during a chaotic time. These individuals withstood fear and engaged massive uncertainty and risk to perform their duties of providing care to those in need at a time of crisis. May the world never forget the COVID-19 pandemic and the courage of our healthcare workers".— Stephan P. Kudyba, Author
