Healthcare science is the applied science dealing with the application of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, to the delivery of healthcare. Healthcare scientists directly involved in delivering the diagnosis, treatment, care, and support of patients in healthcare systems, rather than those individuals whose primary focus is with academic research.
Healthcare science stretches across a wide range of scientific specialisms, encompassing biology, genetics, physiology, physics and bioengineering.

Famous quotes containing the word science:
“I’ve been asked to give some words of advice for young women entering library/information science education. Does anyone ever take advice? The advice we give is usually what we would do or would have done if we had the chance, and the advice that’s taken, if ever, is often what we wanted to hear in the first place.”
—Phyllis Dain (b. 1930)
