Abstract

This article discusses experiences and lessons learned from working on health informatics research as a computer scientist. In particular, I present challenges faced when conducting research on medical informatics, and explain some of the aspects that make medical data and systems unique. Then, I present the two broad research communities studying medical informatics problems. Finally, I offer advice on how to bridge the gap between these communities and increase their research productivity.
