Program on Internet, Health and Society

Through lectures, courses and scholarly activities, the Program on Internet, Health and Society aims to understand how internet-related technologies have interfaced with psychology and general health, encouraging negative traits such as impulsivity, addiction, inattention and cyberchondria, even as they have empowered patients by facilitating access to care and putting more health information at their fingertips. The program will attempt to answer a crucial question for our time: How do we leverage the potential of Internet technologies while reducing their health-compromising impacts?
