Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Video-Audio Media

Video and audio media are increasingly being used in healthcare as a way to share information, provide education, and improve communication with patients, healthcare professionals, and the general public.

Some examples of how video and audio media are used in healthcare include:

Telemedicine: This is the use of video and audio technology to provide remote healthcare services, such as consultations, diagnosis, and treatment. Telemedicine can be used to provide access to healthcare for patients in remote or underserved areas, or for those who have mobility or transportation issues.

Educational videos and podcasts: These can be used to provide information and education on a wide range of healthcare topics, such as disease management, health and wellness, and current research and developments in medicine. These can be shared on healthcare organization’s website, social media, and other platforms.

Patient engagement: Videos and audio recordings can be used to provide patients with information and instructions on their care and treatment, such as how to administer medication, prepare for a procedure, or manage a chronic condition.

Virtual reality and augmented reality: These technologies can be used to provide immersive and interactive experiences for healthcare education and training, as well as for patient engagement and therapy.

Live streaming events: Healthcare organizations can use live streaming to share events such as conferences, webinars, and other educational or informative activities with a wider audience.

Video and audio media can be a valuable tool for healthcare organizations to improve communication and engagement with patients and the public, as well as for providing education and training for healthcare professionals. However, it is important to ensure that any information provided through video and audio media is accurate, up-to-date, and in compliance with any relevant regulations and guidelines.
