Computers have traditionally been associated with health statistics because of the need to manage, process and analyse data. Over the last two years, the Division of Biostatistics and Health Informatics of the Department of Community, Occupational and Family Medicine at the National University of Singapore has been actively looking into ways in which informatics and telematics could be usefully applied to teaching and research in health statistics and in the provision of a statistical information service. This paper describes three projects, originating from the National University of Singapore, which provide an effective demonstration of the application of modern technology to an age-old discipline.
由于需要管理、处理和分析数据，计算机传统上一直与健康统计相关联。在过去两年中，新加坡国立大学社区、职业与家庭医学系的生物统计学与健康信息学部门一直在积极探索如何将信息学和远程信息处理技术有效地应用于健康统计的教学与研究以及提供统计信息服务。本文介绍了源自新加坡国立大学的三个项目，这些项目有效地展示了现代技术在这一古老学科中的应用。
