'''[[Public health informatics]]''' has been defined as "the systematic application of [[information]] and computer science and technology to public health practice, research, and learning."

In 2000, researcher William A. Yasnoff and his colleagues identified four key aspects that differentiate public health informatics from [[Health informatics|medical informatics]] and other informatics specialty areas. Public health informatics focuses on "applications of information science and technology that promote the health of populations as opposed to the health of specific individuals" and that "prevent disease and injury by altering the conditions or the environment that put populations of individuals at risk." It also "explore[s] the potential for prevention at all vulnerable points in the causal chains leading to disease, injury, or disability" and "reflect[s] the governmental context in which public health is practiced."

"Why do we need food systems informatics? Introduction to this special collection on smart and connected regional food systems"

Public interest in where food comes from and how it is produced, processed, and distributed has increased over the last few decades, with even greater focus emerging during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mounting evidence and experience point to disturbing weaknesses in our food systems’ abilities to support human livelihoods and wellbeing, and alarming long-term trends regarding both the environmental footprint of food systems and mounting vulnerabilities to shocks and stressors. How can we tackle the “wicked problems” embedded in a food system? More specifically, how can convergent research programs be designed and resulting knowledge implemented to increase inclusion, sustainability, and resilience within these complex systems ...
