New York HIV Research Centers Consortium
2010 Scientific Conference
"Innovative Applications of Information and Communication
Technologies in Addressing the HIV/AIDS Epidemic"
Friday, March 19, 2010

Kimmel Center, New York University
60 Washington Square South, New York, NY
KC Eisner & Lubin Auditorium - 4th Floor

 Sponsored by:
The New York HIV Research Centers Consortium

Innovative information and communication technologies have been applied widely in behavioral and social science research and are likely to benefit biomedical and basic science research as well. New state-of-the-art systems can enhance data collection and facilitate health promotion among target populations that may not be reached easily otherwise. Health services research and clinical decision-making support tools based on electronic medical records can affect the quality of care. Issues related to ethics and data security are also important to consider in the use of these new technologies.

The goals of the conference will be to:

  • Advance attendees' awareness of and knowledge in applying innovative information and communication technology tools to HIV-related research; and
  • Provide a forum for presentation and discussion of multidisciplinary, cross-cutting methodologies from information and communication technologies in research and practice.
