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.

Famous quotes containing the word science:
“The motive of science was the extension of man, on all sides, into Nature, till his hands should touch the stars, his eyes see through the earth, his ears understand the language of beast and bird, and the sense of the wind; and, through his sympathy, heaven and earth should talk with him. But that is not our science.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
