Digital Health @ Harvard

About

The Digital Health @ Harvard collaboration brings together an interdisciplinary community of scholars, researchers, practitioners, and others at Harvard who have an interest and expertise in digital health issues, broadly conceived.

Brown Bag Lunch Series

The brown bag lunch series features speakers from Harvard as well as collaborators and colleagues from other institutions who research the intersection between health and digital technology. The series is co-hosted by the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, and the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics. The goal of the series is to discuss ongoing research in this research area, share new developments, identify opportunities for collaboration, and explore the digital health ecosystem more generally. 
 

Lunch Series Format

The series consists of a monthly 60-minute brown bag lunch, which will take place on the last Thursday of each month throughout 2017, from 12-1pm. Specific dates are listed below.

The lunches will begin with a 15-20 minute presentation by the speaker, followed by 40-45 minutes of discussion. The host of/venue for the brown bags will rotate among the various co-hosts.
