Flattening the Curve: Investing in Health Literacy & Education of Students, Employees, and the General Public

Shiv Gaglani (Osmosis), Meredith Liu (The Primary School), Ariel Altman (YouTube Health), Michael Fu (Hazel Health), and Rishi Desai (Osmosis) on Flattening the Curve: Investing in Health Literacy & Education of Students, Employees, and the General Public at the 2021 ASU+GSV Summit. A key reason the pandemic continues more than a year later is because of poor health literacy and widespread misinformation in society, which informs personal choices (e.g. not wearing masks, not getting vaccinated, etc) that have public health ramifications. In this panel, leaders of companies that are focused upon improving health literacy of students, employees, and the general public discuss way to reach these audiences and mitigate the next pandemic, be it infectious or chronic in nature.
