Short course - Visual Analytics and Architectures in Public Health
The emergence of new technologies and the rapid growth of data in recent years are transforming public health field. This short course focuses on three technological aspects of this revolution. The first is the emergence of a discipline called Visual Analytics that is concerned with the confluence of computational data analysis methods, interactive visualization, and cognitive processes to explore complex, interrelated data in order to extract knowledge, understanding, and insight from large, complex data sets. The second is Service-Oriented and Web Service Architectures that are concerned with the realization of integrated, networked data and computational services to analysts and practitioners in the public health field. The third topic of the course is concerned with principles and practices in creating effective software architectures in public health. The course is intended for managers and practitioners in the public health field with a general background in information technology and public health.
