Behavioral interventions for ⬆️ seat belt use & ⬇️ distracted driving using telematics ft. Jeffrey Ebert, Ruiqi Yan, Sadie Friday (@PennCHIBE), Dylan Small (@Wharton), @KateMcD_PhDRN (@PennNursing) & @kit_delgadoMD (@PennNudgeUnit/ @UPennEM) https://t.co/FtQggn2uRd

If you have to take a daily pill to reduce your risk of heart disease, wouldn't it be easier get your meds at the pharmacy 4 days/yr instead of 12?

We made a simple tweak in the default order that made things easier for patients and reduced disparities 🧵

[Rutgers Institute for Health @rutgersifh]

It was great to be joined by @kit_delgadoMD for a seminar at IFH yesterday as he shared how @PennNudgeUnit is taking on impactful health research that turns behavioral insights into outcomes.

[Penn Med Nudge Unit @PennNudgeUnit]

Thanks to all our speakers, poster presenters, attendees, and symposium staff! We are wrapping with lunch and final workshops.

[Penn Med Nudge Unit @PennNudgeUnit]

We're onto our final set of speakers at #NudgeSymp24!
We have with us @miteshspatel (@Ascensionorg), Maria-Alkistis Iliopoulou & Colin Shiner (@InterSystems), Hadassah Raskas (@ClalitInnovate), Michelle Tropper (HealthEfficient) & Rina Ramirez (@Zufall_Health).

[Penn Med Nudge Unit @PennNudgeUnit]

Michelle Tropper & Rina Ramirez shared how patient-centered messaging with lab results improved engagement. Messages explained how statins could help patients with their high LDL, were professionally translated into Spanish, and securely transmitted.

[Penn Med Nudge Unit @PennNudgeUnit]

How can culture in health care change to take advantage of tech innovations, Tom asked.
We have to allocate people, said Roy, and be good at portfolio & horizon management. For scaling, "We have to be better at faster decisions and think different about financial analyses."

[Penn Med Nudge Unit @PennNudgeUnit]

We're excited to be joined now by Tom Lee @ThomasHLeeMD and Roy Rosin @rrosin for a fireside chat on the past, present, and future of health care innovation! #NudgeSymp24

[Penn Med Nudge Unit @PennNudgeUnit]

Roy shared several of his favorite @PennMedicine innovation projects - Heart Safe Motherhood, CARe, and SOAR - and the importance of trust and information-seeking when things don't go right with an initiative.
