About Us
HUMM is a try to help patient to reduce health mis-information and over information.
How many times it has happened with us that we search something and we end up completely irrelevant things, mis-information or over information about a topic which gets us in panic mode. Sometimes person searching about it, gets into depression too.
Infodemics have already happened in one way or another in past epidemics, but what’s happening right now is something of a global scale, where people are connected through different means and share information more quickly. This has created a new situation where we are rethinking and reshaping our approach to managing infodemics in emergencies.
With HUMM we shall be able to solve or reduce this problem.
Has google search worked for anyone accurately for health information?
Google algorithm works on multiple factor and any website can come in first position if they have cracked those keywords. Are they really authentic or helpful? Big NO. One such example is:
But more often than not this self-diagnosis on the internet always points towards something more sinister. For example, if you search for ‘headache’, you are most likely going to find around 20 results, each scarier than the other. There are chances that your headache might also be diagnosed as a tumor and your perpetual fatigue could be a sign of an underlying disease including cancer.
Googling doesn’t help. We need much more curated health information system.
Attention span for individuals are reducing. With advent of tiktok, snapchat, instagram, reels people have 8-30 second attention span. They want first level information quick. If they are interested, they will read more.
Patient education is not even up to mark. We believe infographics can help in mobilizing patient education to next level.
Infographics often prove so effective in educational contexts because they use imagery to highlight, explain, or enhance text-based information. They have the unique ability to capture attention, convey information, and encourage data retention despite their complex nature.
Using visual aids such as infographics can help educate patients, their families, and others who are seeking information on disease or symptom.
