Nutrition informatics is the fusion of nutrition, information, and technology. Public health professionals work in an immensely "information-rich" world. As many paper-based tools transition to the technology, there are more efficient ways to collect, display and study data from such tools as food/nutrition analysis tables, electronic health records (EHRs), and smartphone applications.
