YouTube

YouTube Health is an initiative that works with public health and clinical experts to make high-quality health information accessible to people around the world. It uses YouTube’s video format to present medical and public health topics in engaging, understandable, and emotionally supportive ways, helping audiences explore information that can inform health decisions.

The initiative partners with organizations and experts to develop features that help users discover credible health content, and it supports creators in making public health information more culturally relevant and engaging. Its partners include hospitals, medical journals, health education platforms, and public health organizations. Their videos cover subjects such as disease signs, symptoms and treatments, clinical research, medical concepts, and mental health.

Examples include Mass General Brigham’s videos about conditions ranging from heart disease to opioid addiction, NEJM Group’s educational explanations of clinical trial statistics, and Osmosis’s animated consumer health lessons. Psych Hub creates accessible, evidence-based mental health videos, while Max Healthcare shares specialist-led content to raise awareness of health issues.
