TikTok Chosen As Platform for the World Health Organisation Videos On Corona-virus
Are
you on Tik Tok?
If
you want to see the latest videos from the most important organizations like the
World Health Organizations videos about Coronavirus, The Red Cross or the
Telegraph, you must get into Tick Tock.
As we wrote a few months ago TikTok
More Popular Than Instagram, Facebook Or YouTube In 2019
TikTok is a worldwide
sensation that has grown popularity over the years.
TikTok has over 500
million users a month and 41% of all TikTok users are between the ages of 16
and 24. TikTok is most popular in India with 119.3m users, then the USA with
39.6m users.
And it is not just now for the coronavirus, are taking
to the new-ish platform to teach users about specific mental and physical
health conditions and spread awareness on timely topics (like coronavirus, vaping, and sexual
health).
It's a space where doctors do belong, according to the Association for Healthcare Social Media (AHSM).
"Because patients are exposed to or are seeking health knowledge on social
media, health professionals should be present on social media to serve as
accurate sources of medical information or otherwise risk having untrained
individuals distribute information that could be wrong or interpreted out of
context," says Austin Chiang, M.D., M.P.H., a gastroenterologist
and president of the AHSM.
"Some doctors may want to educate about the conditions they diagnose and
treat. Others may want to share their experience, wisdom, or lifestyles to
provide insight into the profession for young aspiring physicians. I do a
little bit of everything!"
The
doctors are meeting this younger audience where they're most engaged online, after
all. (As for when you're offline and in the exam room,
be sure to make the most of your time at the doctor's office.)
"TikTok
provides a unique opportunity to humanize our profession, to help people
familiarize themselves with our health system, and to restore trust in health
professionals through creative and engaging content" says Dr. Chiang.
And
this is evident through the comments on one of Dr. Shahine's videos, in which
she talks about getting pregnant with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
How a TikTok dance challenge spreading an
important coronavirus message
A song
put out by Vietnamese officials to encourage people to wash their hands has led
to a TikTok dance challenge.

The
song was made by singer Khac Hun and Vietnam's National Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health and is based on a popular pop song called Ghen.
It
explains how to wash your hands properly and tells people to be careful in
crowded places.
A
dancer in Vietnam named Quang Dang put together moves that match the lyrics and
started a new TikTok craze.
