In order to face the increasing challenges of complexity and uncertainty in practice of health care, this paper aims to discuss how creativity can contribute to design new technologies in health informatics systems. It will firstly introduce the background highlighting creativity as a missing element in recent studies on context sensitive health informatics. Secondly, the concept of creativity and its relationship with activities of technology design will be discussed from a socio-culture perspective. This will be thirdly followed by understanding the roles of creativity in designing new health informatics technologies for meeting needs of high context sensitivity. Finally, a series of potential strategies will be suggested to improve creativity among technology designers working in healthcare industries. Briefly, this paper innovatively bridges two areas studies on creativity and context sensitive health informatics by issues of technology design that also indicates its important significances for future research.
为应对医疗保健实践中日益增加的复杂性和不确定性挑战，本文旨在探讨创造力如何有助于设计健康信息系统中的新技术。首先，介绍相关背景，强调创造力是近期情境敏感型健康信息学研究中缺失的要素。其次，将从社会文化视角讨论创造力的概念及其与技术设计活动的关系。第三，将进一步理解创造力在设计满足高情境敏感性需求的新健康信息技术中的作用。最后，将提出一系列潜在策略，以提高医疗行业技术设计师的创造力。简而言之，本文通过技术设计问题创新性地将创造力和情境敏感型健康信息学这两个研究领域联系起来，这也表明了其对未来研究的重要意义。
