DESCRIPTION:Historically\, medical research has progressed slowly with lon
 g delays between initial scientific discovery\, replication of findings\, 
 development of interventions\, widespread adoption of effective and accept
 able treatments and resulting impact on population health.\nThe 2006 Cooks
 ey Report\,  _A Review of UK Health Research Funding_\, identified the  ne
 ed to improve health research in the UK and defined two key gaps in the tr
 anslation of health research:\n- translating ideas from basic and clinical
  research into the development of new products and approaches to treatment
  of disease and illness\; and\n- implementing those new products and appro
 aches into clinical practice.\nThe population e-health perspective expands
   the concept of  translational research ‘from bench to bedside’ to 
 ‘from byte to bedside and population health’. \n E-health research hel
 ps bridge the second translational research gap by bringing together data 
 from fragmented systems to support research into aetiology\, the identific
 ation of potentially modifiable protective or risk factors\, informing the
  design of interventional studies \, and quantifying population impact pos
 t implementation. The latter is particularly relevant to universities give
 n the importance of ‘Impact case studies in the Research Excellence Fram
 ework.\nThe presentation will cover a range of methodological developments
  in e-health research and use applied research case studies to demonstrate
  these concepts in practice\, with examples ranging from large scale healt
 h services research studies\, the creation of total population e-cohorts\,
  trials and  the evaluation of non-health care interventions on health*.\n
