HealthIT

Health Information Technology (commonly abbreviated Health IT or HIT for short) is a term used to describe the area of IT involving the design, development, creation, use and maintenance of information systems for the healthcare industry. These information systems must securely store, share, and analyze health information. The Health Information could be any of a broad array of data including Medical Records & Lab Results (personal/sensitive data), Symptom/Treatment Histories (anonymized data for trends/statistical analysis), Gene Code Sequencing & Bio-Technological research data, Patient Monitoring data, Equipment Monitoring data, Revenues/Costs (financial data of hospitals/clinics/departments/procedures), etc. Automated and interoperable healthcare information systems are expected to lower costs, improve efficiency and reduce error, while also providing better consumer care and service.

The primary segments of HIT are:

1. Clinical / Hospital Information Systems (admin, finance, security, & clinical aspects of a hospital)
2. Continuity of Care / Chronic Disease / Home Health Systems / Emergency (community based)
3. Drug Information Systems / E-Prescription Systems (pharmacy integration, tracking)
4. Electronic Health Records (Institutional record) / Personal Health Records (patient)
5. Electronic Medical Records (Longitudinal patient record / chart maintained by doctor)
6. Healthcare Assistive Robots (Dispensing, Surgical, etc)
7. Image Archiving and Communication / Radiology Systems (PACS+)
8. Laboratory Information Systems (integration with Labs, interoperable)
9. Medical Device plus an IT component (many)
10. Practice Management Software (Admin, Sched, HR, Logistics, Workflow, Billing / Finance Systems)
11. Telemedicine Solutions (Video, monitoring, telepharmacy, medication compliance, virtual consult)
12. Wireless Apps & Networks (Assets, Alerts, Approvals, RT monitoring, Decision aids, Drug calculators, Physician finders, etc)

EHR/EMR/PHR

The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is the central component of the Health IT infrastructure. An EHR is an individual's official, digital health record and is shared among multiple facilities and agencies. The other essential elements of the HIT infrastructure are the Electronic Medical Record (EMR), which is an individual's health record within a specific healthcare provider's facilities; the Personal Health Record (PHR), which is an individual's self-maintained health record (ideally the most complete of the three); and a Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO), which oversees communications among the other elements and unifies them geographically.

15. Exercise (types/regularity/routine)
16. Nutrition (vitamins/minerals/quality of food)
17. Caloritic intake
18. Medical History (including previous symptoms, conditions, treatments, procedures, lab tests and diagnoses)
19. Family History (genetic markers & symptom predispositions)
20. Family Ancestry (living/deceased: great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, siblings, offspring, adopted children, etc)
21. Reproductive Health (sperm count, ovulation cycle, etc)

Human Genome project

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was the international, collaborative research program whose goal was the complete mapping and understanding of all the genes of human beings. All our genes together are known as our "genome."

Wearables

Wearables are a broad category of Consumer Devices which allow their users to track personal medical data (such as vital signs, i.e. Heart Rate & Blood Pressure during activity), health-related data (such as BMI & weight-loss, calories consumed, activity-levels i.e. steps taken, etc) and/or other lifestyle type of information (such as recording time spent on tasks via timer/stopwatch, etc). In addition, some wearables empower their wearers to control other devices or software in their surroundings (via Bluetooth, ANT/ANT+ and other low-power networking protocols), or even other devices or software remotely over the Internet.

Healthcare

Internet-enabled Healthcare services are popping up at an increasing rate. These services and platforms provide the ability to connect patients to doctors via In-Person Housecalls (from Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics and other Medical Staff), Email (photos, descriptions of symptoms, etc), Video Conference, Live Chat and other real-time Communication technologies.

SmartHealth

SmartHealth is defined as the intelligent usage of data from all possible input points, including Personal Health Records (possibly even down to the level of family trees & genetic markers), Wearables (i.e. Fitness Trackers, Nutrition Trackers, Health Monitors/sensors, etc) and any other potentially relevant source. While SmartHealth services/solutions should be capable of reading in all this disparate information in aggregate and making sense of it, such a service/solution should only take the most pertinent lifestyle and patient history information into account and through access to it be capable of making more precise & personalized diagnosis, treatment suggestions, recovery plans and recurrence prevention steps. Obviously SmartHealth is very difficult since for it to be successful requires merging AI and related technical capabilities (such as Machine Learning, Biometrics, UI/UX design) with human processes/procedures/routines (both on the doctor/provider and patient side).

CRISPR

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) is a family of DNA sequences found in the genomes of "prokaryotic" organisms such as 50% of the knonw/sequenced bacteria and 90% of the known/sequenced archaea.
