Houston, we have an opportunity
It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the upcoming eHealth Research Institute (eHRI) Summit. The Summit will be hosted, free of charge, as an all day event at Rice University’s BioScience Research Collaborative (BRC) on Tuesday, June 4, 2013.
Please make sure you register for the 2013 eHRI Summit.
About:
The electronic Health Research Institute is a collaborative research initiative under development by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, the Ken Kennedy Institute for Information Technology at Rice University, and the Center for Space Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. The primary focus of eHRI is to serve as a catalyst for the advancement, integration, and translation of technology research to enable distance delivery of healthcare.
The aim of the 2013 eHRI Summit is twofold:
- to serve as a networking event for individuals and organizations interested in participating in shaping eHRI
- to explore project ideas and to initiate collaborations that will lead to the development of technology to address needs in distance delivery of healthcare
