Digital Health Communication – Creating Explainer Medical Videos

Welcome to the Course: Digital Health Communication

Digital health communication isn’t just about social media — it’s about trust. It’s about making sure that accurate, evidence-based information reaches communities before misinformation does. When clinicians learn to communicate clearly and use digital tools effectively, they bridge the gap between science and society. In today’s world, health communication is no longer optional — it’s essential.

A recent editorial in The New England Journal of Medicine reminds us that health systems must take responsibility for training clinicians to engage effectively on digital and nontraditional platforms. A report on communicating health numbers also notes that clarity is the foundation of trust.For example, instead of saying “this side effect is rare,” saying “1 in 1,000 people may experience it” transforms abstract reassurance into concrete understanding. When we all speak the same language — one grounded in data, context, and compassion — patients feel empowered, confident, and truly part of the decision-making process.

That’s why this course exists. The first source of health information for most people today isn’t their doctor – it’s the internet. The gap between science and public understanding is widening, and we need digital health leaders who can bridge it. At eHealthyInfo, we believe every clinician can become a digital health communicator, someone who translates complex medical evidence into clear, engaging, and trustworthy information online.

Welcome to the course – where we train the next generation of clinicians to lead, educate, and inspire in the digital age.
