Health care informatics, in other words medical informatics, alludes to the use of data design and onboarding to the field of medical care, which basically covers the administration and utilization of patient medical services data. Through a multidisciplinary approach, it utilizes health information technology to improve medical care by depending on more advanced opportunities. According to the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), health informatics is ”an interdisciplinary study of the design, development, adoption and application of IT‐based innovations in health care services delivery, management and planning” (DeBakey, 1991). Basically, it impacts the improvement of the obtaining, stockpiling, recovery, and utilization of data in health and bio‐medication. Intelligent health care informatics expand the domain of current medical care conveniences by encompassing aspects from intelligent technologies to computational engineering. Intelligent analysis of the information upgrades the general administration by taking everything into account.

Health care informatics combine the fields of information technology, science, and medicine for a better seamless and speedy management process that serves people worldwide. The main objective for health care informatics is to render effective health care to patients with the help of technologic advancements in public health, drug discovery, pharmacy, etc. However, there is an insufficient understanding of the computational methodologies that will be highly efficient for the health care sector and its approach for patients worldwide (Durcevic, 2020).

Belle et al. (2015) discussed various smart health care informatics that can be tackled using computational techniques. Big data analytics is required for the health care sector due to the rising costs in nations like the United States (Durcevic, 2020). Moreover, expenses are much higher than they ought to be, and they have been rising over the last 20 years. Distinctly, we are in need of smart, data‐driven improvements in the health care sector.
