This session kicks off the Digital Health Humanities Symposium and is intended to spark conversation as well as surface potential collaboration opportunities or further insight sharing relating to digital health humanities across the UCSF community.

Following an overview of the UCSF Digital Health Humanities pilot program, presenters from the UCSF community will share brief lightning talks including those that cover research processes, exploration/experimentation, early findings, challenges, or new research questions under consideration. There will also be time reserved for Q&A.
