Introduction to the workshop on computational health science
Pages 607 - 609
Abstract
This short paper introduces the rationale for a workshop on computational health science, and provides a brief overview of the workshop's content. We point out some of the recent research on mining social media data for health, define what we mean by computational health science, and argue the value of meaningful multi-disciplinary collaboration.
