- HCSNet Workshop on Social Technologies Applications for Health and Medicine,
Thurs/Friday, August 20-21 2009, Melbourne (Australia). See www.hcsnet.edu.au.
A great deal of research supports the belief that social interactions affect
people’s health in various ways. Online communities have added a relatively
new dimension to the lives of many people. This workshop aims to bring together
a group of researchers and practitioners from medical, social and information
technology communities to understand how social technologies might be used to
support health and health initiatives.
