Informatics is the science of gathering, manipulating, storing and classifying recorded information, usually by using computer software or hardware.
“The software developed will provide easier collaboration [among] investigators from diverse disciplines and help them better address complex health problems,” said Dr. Susan Redline of Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, in a written statement.
Redline and G.Q. Zhang of Case Engineering School are co-principal investigators on the project, which includes researchers from Marshfield Clinic; University of Wisconsin, Madison; and the University of Michigan.
In 2007, Case researchers received a $64 million Clinical and Translational Science Award from the NIHÂ in partnership with the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and MetroHealth Medical Center.
