Informatics broadly covers the studies of natural and artificial domains for communication, interaction, data, and information, and relating them to the processes of defining, developing, managing, criticizing, and refining knowledge. Biomedical informatics focuses on the theories, methodologies, and technologies of informatics that are related to processing biological and medical knowledge.
