The Health Informatics directorate at the EAC was established in response to the emerging need to transform medical data into usable information, the growing volume of patient data, an increase in technological know-how, and demand for quick and efficient healthcare processes and systems.

The Health Informatics research projects are supported by many strong suits at the EAC for development such as: immersive visualization, mixed realities, and interactive technologies.

The research projects each use different visualization techniques and other technologies available at the EAC to build solutions to advance the performance of the existing medical technologies and add more value to the processes and procedures implemented in different healthcare areas.

Health Informatics research projects at the EAC aim to contribute to the improvement of healthcare systems outcomes, and the experiences for both patients and providers in a more effective manner.
