This webinar was presented live on July 9, 2019.

Nutrition informatics is defined as the "intersection of nutrition, information, and technology" and it is an exciting and ever-evolving field. Yet, it is important to first understand the principles of informatics as a discipline and how nutrition informatics fits into the larger picture of health informatics and health information technology. This presentation will walk through this pathway from all angles and will highlight examples from various aspects of nutrition practice (clinical, public health, research, etc.).
