Abstract:

[Objective] Biomedical informatics is one of the fastest specialized developing disciplines of information sciences. Our review summarizes the latest progress and future development of theoretical systems, platforms, and tools of biomedical informatics. [Methods] This review teases out the development of data resource construction, data analysis algorithms and models, tools, and software in biomedical informatics through bibliometrics and literature research. [Results] It will effectively support the development of biomedical informatics by forming a discipline development path, which is resource-based, technology-supported, talent-centered, and application-oriented. [Limitations] Limited by word count, some biomedical data resources and methods are not thoroughly involved. [Conclusions] Data and technology are key elements in the development of biomedical informatics. We hope to provide a literature review and references for the improvement of biomedical informatics in China.

Key words: Biomedical Informatics, knowledge discovery, data resource, computing models, algorithms and tools
