Gunther Eysenbach, MD, MPH
Dr. Eysenbach was first author on a seminal publication in JAMA of assessing the quality of consumer health information on the Internet, and has undertaken a variety of studies of how the lay public uses health information obtained from online sources. He was an early proponent of what has been called ‘infodemiology’ based on the predictive value of Google searches for influenza as a means of syndromic surveillance, which has since been implemented by Google as Flu trends. He has also been a persuasive advocate of open access journals and has published work showing their salutary effect on citation by others. He has been an active contributor to IMIA, the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association, a consultant to the European Union and a member of peer review groups of the Canadian Institutes for Health Research and the Canadian Cancer Society. His election to the College recognizes these technical and professional service achievements.
