History has witnessed the evolution of epidemiology as a scientific discipline and its main protagonists have written this history with innovation and new thinking.

Currently, epidemiology faces increasingly complex challenges, but a key element is how the light of the new dynamics of the world and new technologies, the dimensions of epidemiology, and public health have evolved.The technological revolution around the information technology society is changing at a rapid pace and today, research and information management in the medical field in general are absolutely linked, in a great synergy, with medical informatics and new technology.
