Disseminating Public Health Education on Social Media the Right Way | Varun Aitharaju | TEDxNEOMED

video thumbnail
In our digital age, many people turn to the Internet for their health information. The COVID-19 pandemic has left a digital pandemic in its wake: health misinformation. Varun Aitharaju, an avid technology user and medical student, believes there is untapped potential for proper health education via social media. In his talk, Varun shares his experience with posting accurate information on the web, and the need for other professionals to do the same. Varun Aitharaju is a third-year medical student at Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED). Conflicted between choosing medicine and technology/engineering prior to his graduate education, Varun aspired to learn about the integration of both fields when he entered medical school. For this reason, Varun developed an interest in innovation, medical technologies, and the utilization of social media in healthcare education. He, along with several other medical students, has been working with Dr. Todd Ponsky and Dr. Rodrigo Gerardo at Akron Children’s Hospital to assess how best to capture viewer interest and educate through technology and social media. The team also continues to create podcasts, Tik Toks, and other exciting media to enlighten viewers and battle misinformation. Additionally, Varun loves learning about finance and policy, dancing, and listening to music. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
