DESCRIPTION:“Digital Health Humanities”\n\nIn this talk\, Kirsten Osthe
 rr will discuss “digital health humanities\,” an emerging research met
 hod that blends critical analysis with the use of computational tools to e
 xplore research questions related to digital information and communication
  technologies (ICTs) in health care. As a method that draws from and exten
 ds the fields of digital humanities and health humanities\, digital health
  humanities employs digital tools to conduct humanities health research fo
 cusing on ICTs as objects of inquiry within the domain of health. Through 
 analysis of the social and technical features of digital health technologi
 es\, this method emphasizes engagement with patients\, caregivers\, and ot
 her research participants that use the technologies under investigation. T
 his talk will explain how Ostherr’s lab\, the Medical Futures Lab\, has 
 identified research problems suitable for exploration and intervention usi
 ng digital tools\, gathered data on the need for and appropriateness of a 
 digital health design intervention for a specific problem or patient popul
 ation\, and assessed the necessary social and technical features of digita
 l ecosystems.
