The Center for Digital Health Humanities works as an aggregator of all major activities, events, projects, research and key players dealing with the impact that new technologies have on health. Its multidisciplinary approach focuses on the most relevant dimensions of this impact: therapeutic, social, economic, psychological, and communicational.
The Center is a joint project of Eikon Strategic Consulting and Body&Society LAB. It brings together and integrates two different but complementary sets of know hows, teams, theoretical frameworks, research activities and policy making experiences.
Eikon Strategic Consulting is a communications and research company. A market leader in web analysis, it tackles and measures the contents of social discourse with proprietary tools. Its innovative communication campaigns rely heavily on storytelling and word-of-mouth.
Body&Society LAB has been exploring systematically for 15 years the social construction of the body and the trends of contemporary corporeality. This scientific Observatory is animated by a team of sociologists, clinical psychologists, social anthropologists, authors, semioticians and artists.
