  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Computational Intelligence in Healthcare

Part of the book series: Health Information Science ((HIS))

Abstract

In the era of digital world, due to constantly evolving computational technology, bioinformatics propelled out of research labs into our everyday lives. Emerging advances in bioinformatics enable home computers to have powerful supercomputers, reducing the research expense, enhancing scientific efficiency, and accelerating novel discoveries. Bioinformatics can simply be understood as a field of data science based on the amalgamation of computers and biology. Nowadays, one of the major obstacles for humans is to attain a health system in which each patient could have a personalized medicine, as each patient possesses a unique genome, proteome, and metabolome. Hence, to understand complexity underlying diseases and its mechanism, bioinformatics can be a fundamental approach. One of the objectives of chapter is to present a comprehensive overview of bioinformatics, various omics tools and its applications, health informatics, and healthcare system. Big data technologies and their role in biomedical research is briefly addressed. The later dimension focuses on bioinformatics resources towards personalized medicine. The last section highlights the key commercial platforms for healthcare data analytics and challenges along with future prospects of bioinformatics in healthcare, which will help the readers to effectively use the information for their research endeavours.
