Eva Kahana recently published Health Web Science, a co-authored monograph in the series Foundations and Trends in Web Science, with Now Publishers. Kahana and her colleagues note that the transformative power of the World Wide Web on all aspects of daily life, including health care, has been widely recognized.

Health Web Science explores the role of the Web as it drives discussions, technologies, policies and solutions related to health. It also examines the impact of the Web’s health-related uses on the design, structure and evolution of the Web itself.
