Using AI and Innovation to Prepare for the Next Global Health Crisis
NEW YORK, March 2, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Planet Classroom Network presents AI and Tech for Health: WHO’s Andy Pattison, the latest episode in its AI for a Better World series, hosted by C.M. (Cathy) Rubin.
In this timely episode, Andy Pattison, Team Lead for Digital Channels at the World Health Organization (WHO), explores how lessons from the last pandemic are shaping the future of global health communication. As misinformation continues to threaten public health, WHO is leveraging AI-driven content, chatbots, and hyperlocal storytelling to ensure that life-saving messages reach diverse populations worldwide.
“The next health crisis isn’t a matter of ‘if’—it’s ‘when.’ If we don’t adapt now, misinformation will spread faster than any virus,” says Pattison. “AI, digital tools, and community-based storytelling will be crucial to staying ahead.”
