Health in Context: A Course in Multilevel Modelling

11th to 15th April 2016, Utrecht, Netherlands.

In this course we clarify what MLA is about and why it is important to take both shared contexts and individuals into account when undertaking public health and health services research... weiterlesen

DIGICARE - the 1st Euroseminar to Face the Digital Revolution in Healthcare

12th April 2016, Brussels, Belgium.
DIGICARE
Digital revolution is radically changing how European citizens are living and facing their social and health care habits: a recent Eurobarometer Survey showed that 6 out of 10 Europeans had looked for their health information on the internet in 2014.

The rationale for this seminar is to provide a cross road to discuss key “hot topics” that are going to involve European citizens, private industries, governments, institutions, medical associations and healthcare providers in the near future and coagulate different interests around the huge potential to use the digital power to improve the healthcare of European citizens and future

Anatomy of a Murder: How Responsive Web Design Changed the Face of the Web We Experience

WebitesThe way we use the web has changed over the years and so has the technology that comes with this behavioral change.
