Modelling
and reasoning in health sciences are currently
enjoying growing interest. This is paralleled by
increased understanding that it are primarily
the information processing systems within the
organism's intercausal networks that provide the
fundamentals of life.
Medical Cybernetics [-> preliminary
definition] searches for quantitative
descriptions of biological dynamics primarily in
the intact, but beyond also in the diseased
organism in order to gain new insights into the
principles of life and its perturbations and to
gather evidence based foundations for clinical
decision making.
This portal is to provide scientific
reference information and introductory notes on
several fields of Medical Cybernetics as well as
links to working groups, institutes, societies
and associations, readings and events
worldwide.
