Gunther Eysenbach is a researcher on Open access publishing, health policy, eHealth, and consumer health informatics.

Career

Eysenbach was born on 22 March 1967[citation needed] in Berlin, Germany. While a medical student, he served on the executive board as elected Communication Director, later as Vice-President of the European Medical Students' Association.[1] He received an M.D. from the University of Freiburg and a Master of Public Health from Harvard School of Public Health. From 1999 to 2002 he founded and headed a Research Unit on Cybermedicine and Ehealth at the University of Heidelberg and organized and chaired the World Congress on Internet in Medicine.[2] In March 2002, he emigrated to Canada[citation needed] and since then has been Senior Scientist at the Centre for Global eHealth Innovation[3] at the University Health Network (Toronto, Canada), and Associate Professor in the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto.

Eysenbach is a founding scholar of the field of consumer health informatics.[citation needed] He has written a large number of influential books and articles, and continues to support research in this area through organizing conferences and through his editorship of the Journal of Medical Internet Research. From 2000-2008, served as Working Group Chair for the WG Consumer Health Informatics of the International Medical Informatics Association.[4]

Other contributions of Eysenbach include:

  • Eysenbach is initiator, organizer, and chair of the annual Medicine 2.0 conference Medicine 2.0 Congress[5]
  • At the end of the 90s, Eysenbach with a number of European partners initiated and led two major EU projects[citation needed], MedCertain and MedCircle,[6] to develop conceptual prototypes of "trustmarks" or "transparency marks" for health-related information on the Internet. Rather than developing their own methodologies from scratch, the projects pragmatically built[citation needed] on emerging web approaches during these days which some years later became mainstream thinking.[citation needed]
  • Eysenbach has conducted pioneering studies on the association between search engine queries and influenza incidence as early as in 2006,[7] which have been confirmed by other research groups 2–3 years later.[8][9] Eysenbach coined the terms "infoveillance" and "infodemiology" for these kinds of approaches.[10][11]
  • Eysenbach is founder and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Medical Internet Research, started in 1999 as a peer-reviewed open access journal on all aspects of research, information and communication in the healthcare field. using Internet and Intranet-related technologies.[citation needed] In 2002, it was selected as the official journal of the Internet Healthcare Coalition, and in 2003, as the official journal of the Society for Internet in Medicine. The journal became the leading journal in health informatics with an impact factor of 4.7 (2010).
  • Eysenbach is initiator of WebCite, an archiving service for scholarly authors and editors citing webpages.[12]
