Medical Informatics: The Bridge Between Worlds

A recurring theme during the event was the unique role of Medical Informatics. Prof. Kalyani Addya (KCDH) described it simply but powerfully:

“Medical Informatics is the bridge between doctors and engineers.”

In the current landscape, medical professionals and technical experts often speak “different languages.” There is a fundamental language mismatch where the data scientist’s technical abstractions must be reconciled with the clinician’s grounded experience. KCDH provides the common ground where engineering expertise (Data Science, AI) meets clinical realities (Patient outcomes, diagnosis).
