As a global crisis, COVID-19 has underscored the challenge of disseminating
evidence-based public health recommendations amidst a rapidly evolving, often
uncensored information ecosystem-one fueled in part by an unprecedented degree of
connected afforded through social media. In this piece, we explore an
underdiscussed intersection between the visual arts and public health, focusing
on the use of validated infographics and other forms of visual communication to
rapidly disseminate accurate public health information during the COVID-19
pandemic. We illustrate our arguments through our own experience in creating a
validated infographic for patients, now disseminated through social media and
other outlets across the world in nearly 20 translations. Visual communication
offers a creative and practical medium to bridge critical health literacy gaps,
empower diverse patient communities through evidence-based information and
facilitate public health advocacy during this pandemic and the 'new normal' that
lies ahead.
