WIHIR - Waterloo Institute for Health Informatics Research

The Waterloo Institute for Health Informatics Research (WIHIR) is a trans-disciplinary collaboration that focuses its efforts on research into new Health Informatics (HI) interventions (concepts, techniques, tools, systems and methods) that enable information, information management, and information and communications technologies to deliver the greatest possible value in the health system. A related focus of WIHIR is the application of advanced HI interventions in pilot/proof of concept settings. In addressing the challenge of developing new HI interventions, WIHIR brings to bear expertise and insights from the Bio-Health/Life and Physical Sciences, Computing and Mathematics, Engineering, the Management Sciences, and Social Sciences.

Graduate Courses

Computer Science 898 - Frontiers of Health Informatics Research

This course is intended to examine work at the forefront of Health Informatics. It examines the nature and content of the work, and identifies what is known as well as the outlines of what must yet be developed, defined, or discovered to bring the work to the desired outcome. From the perspective of Computer Science it attempts to identify and dissect out interesting research problems, and to identify potentially applicable concepts and methods. The primary objectives of the course include: using leading edge research projects as exemplars that show the kind of research performed in Health Informatics and illustrate how such research is done, helping students to identify potential research topics for their graduate theses, and introducing students to the breadth and depth of Health Informatics research.
