This month, McMaster's Master of Science in eHealth (http://mscehealth.mcmaster.ca/) program is hosting us at the new McMaster Centre for Continuing Education, right at the corner of King and James. You may have noticed this ultra-modern upgrade to the existing building as you passed by. Now we have a chance to get inside and enjoy their hospitality.

What are they up to at Mac eHealth? You may have heard about the Mac eHealth program. It's a unique three-way joint venture of the business school and the faculties of health science and engineering, aiming to bring Master students up to speed on health, information and management sciences. The interdisciplinary program brings together programmers, front-line staff, admin, and clinicians.

We have two awesome groups presenting this month!

MyHealth PHRI: Dr. Cynthia Lokker from eHealth and Dr. Itzhak Gabizon from PHRI are developing a research app to evaluate the effectiveness of mobile health apps. They are drawing on rigorous research methods to evaluate which health apps actually work — something that is desperately needed in a field with hundreds of thousands of poorly vetted apps out there.
