by James Angel and Chad Stecher

Description

In a not-so-distant future, the world could witness a remarkable transformation in healthcare, where the power of behavioral economics, human creativity and technology converge. It is a time of immense possibilities, where the full integration of cutting-edge advancements will reshape the way we understand human behavior and improve our well-being. Experimental forms of behavioral economics will serve as the bedrock to our understanding of and interaction with these future-forward systems. In this vision of the future, Dr. Stecher*s research paves the way for these user-made, personalized healthcare systems that seamlessly integrate emerging technologies, to influence healthier choices, promote positive habit formation, and address psychological barriers to whole health and well-being.


A future where each individual becomes an active participant in their own enhanced health outcomes. A future where health and happiness are within everyone’s reach.
