Lasting Behavior Change in MindTech - #9

How do we close the gap between intention and action? A key problem for anyone trying to change behavior for the better.

• Behavioral Science Lead in the Health AI team at Apple

• Head of Behavioral Science at Pattern Health - a digital health platform motivating patients to engage with their care

• Principal of the Centre for Advanced Hindsight at Duke University - where she redesigned systems to help people make better health decisions

Today, she and her team run Nuance - harnessing the best of behavioral science to achieve scalable behavior change through all the digital products they develop.

1. The most effective incentives that mental health apps can give their users to achieve lasting behavior change

2. How to leverage a user’s intrinsic motivation to close the gap between intention and action
