Healthcare informatics

 

The present section relates to healthcare informatics applicable to detect, handle, manage, analyse, treat or protect against coronaviruses in general and SARS-CoV-2 in particular. Healthcare informatics cover Information and Communication Technology (ICT) - also known as digital technologies - specifically adapted for the handling or processing of medical or healthcare data (CPC, IPC subclass G16H).

The following queries combine IPC and CPC groups of G16H (former G06F19/30) with keywords. Healthcare informatics covers digital technology solutions in the healthcare and medical domain which are helpful for or applicable to a plurality of diseases and viruses, therefore several of the queries are not limited to SARS-CoV-2.

Queries covering digital technology solutions combining IPC and CPC groups other than G16H can be found under Technologies for the new normal - Digital technologies.

Patent analytics gives a deeper dive into the patent landscape. Our patent analysts have created a spreadsheet containing all the search strategies and datasets for patents for healthcare informatics as well as additional statistics in one place for you to download. You can also run the search strategies on your own platform or analyse the datasets yourself. If you are not familiar with how to write or adapt search strategies, our Espacenet pocket guide will help.
