New York City and London (16 July 2020) — As confusion surrounding the virus continues to compound,  Jumo Health, the global provider of age appropriate, personalized health care resources, announced today that it has launched an online destination for trusted, health care resources related to COVID-19 and general health and hygiene topics. Available at JumoHealth.com/COVID-19, the resource center includes information from trusted sources, such as Health Nuts Media and The Jed Foundation (JED), and underscores Jumo Health’s commitment to provide evidence based information that educates, engages, and enables patients to understand and act upon physician instructions. 

“Our goal at Jumo Health is always to be of service to our community,” said Kevin Aniskovich, President and CEO and Jumo Health. “Ensuring people have access to the tools and resources that break down complex medical information in ways they can understand is baked into our corporate DNA. Our approach to educating around the COVID-19 pandemic is no different. This resource center provides access to relatable information as a respite from the overwhelming amount of published opinions available online. We are thankful to our partners at Health Nuts Media for their collaboration in expanding the library of available resources at this time to serve the greater good,” concluded Aniskovich.

Getting into the Hands that Need it Most

Only 10% of the population is considered health literate with more than half of US adults reading at or below an 8th grade level. With most health care resources written, on average, at an 11th grade level, Jumo Health has taken steps to marry the visual with the verbal to explain information in ways people can understand. To further this commitment, Jumo Health will be providing these newly released COVID-19, hygiene, and other related resources to hundreds of hospitals at no cost. 

The COVID-19 Resource Center includes printable infographics and one-pagers about COVID-19 and viral spread, digital comic books, digital and analog activities for children at home, and other helpful information. In partnership with Health Nuts Media, the Resource Center also includes a collection of 2D animated videos for both children and adults to better understand COVID-19 and hygiene basics. 

“The COVID-19 pandemic will likely be the biggest health story of our lives, and the impact on the mental, physical, and emotional health of our children should not be underestimated. To beat back the dangerous world of misinformation, we want to deliver vetted, but easy-to-digest information to help them — and to help keep everyone safe,” said Dr. Gregg Alexander, Chief Medical Officer of Health Nuts Media.
