YouTube Prioritizes First Aid Videos in Search Results
In partnership with major health organizations, YouTube aims to provide quick, reliable first aid information to users during acute health emergencies.
- YouTube will now prioritize first aid videos in search results for acute health emergencies, providing quick access to step-by-step instructions from credible health organizations.
- The new feature, known as 'First Aid Information Shelves', was created in partnership with Mass General Brigham, the Mexican Red Cross, and the American Heart Association.
- Search terms that will trigger these prioritized videos include 'CPR', 'choking', 'bleeding', 'heart attack', 'stroke', 'seizure', and 'opioid overdose'.
- YouTube is also hosting a free CPR course in partnership with the American Heart Association, featuring professional football player Damar Hamlin.
- The videos are currently available in English and Spanish, with plans to add support for other languages in the future.
