Health science is the discipline of applied
science which deals with human and animal health.
There are two parts to health science: the study, research,
and knowledge of health and the application of that knowledge to improve health,
cure diseases,
and understanding how humans and animals function. |
Research builds primarily on
the pure sciences of biology, chemistry,
and physics as well as social sciences (for example medical
sociology). Other fields which made an exceptionally significant
contribution to the health sciences include biochemistry, biotechnology, engineering, epidemiology, genetics, nursing, pharmacology, pharmacy, public
health, and medicine.
The health sciences industry, a multi-billion dollar business, is a subset of
the life sciences, medical care, and diagnosis industries.
