Behavioral Science and Health study

2 seasons, 11 guests, 32 extracts and countless discussions started: That’s our report for Obervia’s webseries, Small Talk Big Issues. Researchers, behavioral experts, industry’ leaders: we had the chance and the honor to welcome some brilliant minds of our ecosystem, just as passionate as we are about the future of healthcare. Now, what if, despite their jobs’ differences, positions, and expertise, they tended to agree on a lot of matters? Videos speak louder than words, so we decided to create Small Talk Big Issues Rewind, a special format that focuses on one key topic which was particularly addressed during our interviews. We will talk about the need for a truly integrated healthcare, the future of digital care and the endless possibilities of behavioral science. Age, jobs, family status, personal history: there are so many elements determining who we are and what makes us unique. It is common sense to anticipate those elements also impact the way we, as patients, will react to a care plan. What if we had a way to anticipate how and why these personal traits influence the way chronic patients behave? We actually already have it at our fingertips: behavioral science applied to healthcare. Now, how can we leverage it to improve the way we deliver care?
