Course Description The course aims to introduce the fundamentals of Computer Science and to present some specific applications in the field of Medical Informatics that are highly relevant for the education of a BioEngineer. The elements of Computer Science offered are related to the general basic concepts about computer and programming: (1) Functional description of a computer, algorithms, programming languages, compiler, operating systems and networks; (2) Information encoding, logical operators, binary encoding of digits and characters. (3) Basics of programming, with reference to the C language: data abstraction, types (array, struct and pointer), execution control (conditional, selection-based, cycle-based); (4) Functions as decomposition units of programs; (5) Top-Down approach to the development; (6) Use of parameters, local and global variables, recursion; (7) File management. The Elements of Medical Informatics, as the first step in the educative path in Biomedical Informatics and Digital Healthcare, will provide the student with aspects of algorithms, data structures and programming, with a particular attention to their application to simple cases of (a) medical taxonomies, (b) standard terminologies for health and (c) digital medical records.
