Best eHealth Research Paper Awards
 

Each year the Health e-Technologies Initiative sponsors Hot eHealth Research Results and Translating Findings into eHealth Practice, a paper session which highlights and promotes the application of scientific research methods to identify effective eHealth solutions. Each year a peer review panel evaluates abstracts and selects five papers for presentation at the Summit. From the five finalists, the panel makes a $1000 cash award to the "Best eHealth Research Paper" at the Summit.
