Informatics is a form of computer science that studies the design, implementation, use and impact of information technology.

It focuses on all aspects of how to design, build, and analyze software so it effectively fits with people, organizations, and cultures it is meant to support and enhance.

A hallmark of Informatics is a desire to create solutions that matter.
