Informatics and information technology (IT) are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences between the two. Informatics is the study of how people interact with data, while IT is the study of how to use technology to store and process data. Informatics is more focused on the theoretical side of technology, while IT is more focused on the practical applications. Informatics is often used to refer to the broader field of data science and the use of technology to analyze data, while IT is more focused on the hardware and software used to store and process data. Ultimately, informatics and IT are different, but complementary, fields.
