GER401 Ageing and Informatics examines the state of health informatics in the care of seniors and the state of technology in this field. The field of information technology has evolved to cover topics of enhanced interest in Artificial Technologies (AI) through Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) which offer new possibilities to field of ageing. AI is smart technologies in pattern recognition and has successfully broken new grounds in healthcare for cancer diagnosis and pharmaceutical areas. Ageing is multi-factorial and multi-dimensional over a period of time. It can benefit from fields of informatics in home environment, integrated healthcare systems, consumer level health informatics, nutrition and medication. This course will provide an overview of the expanding field of health informatics to support interdisciplinary needs of researchers, clinicians, carers and policy makers for the ageing community.
