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.

Key Takeaways from the Interview:

AI-Powered Health Messaging: How WHO’s chatbots and digital humans provide real-time, trusted health guidance.

Lessons from the Last Pandemic: The major communication failures and successes that will shape future crisis response.

Preparing for the Next Global Health Emergency: How AI-driven strategies will enable faster, more effective responses to future outbreaks.

Reaching Vulnerable Populations: WHO’s innovative use of radio and free digital tools to ensure no community is left behind.

C. M. (Cathy) Rubin’s Perspective: “Andy Pattison’s insights remind us that innovation and storytelling are key to global health success. AI can empower communities—when combined with empathy, local expertise, and meaningful partnerships—to build resilience against future crises.”
