Great to collaborate with you, Julie!

What happens to high-risk prescribing when 40 Interns are randomized to receive simulation to address stressful situations vs. online training?
New paper in @AGSJournal funded by our @C4HDS @NIHAging Roybal Center!

At Robin Hood Opportunity AI Summit. Very much aligns with @ideas42’s work in AI, including our work to prevent bias in algorithms https://t.co/3aCYXKblPB and ML personalization https://t.co/EzyqNDj4b1

[ideas42 @ideas42]

As a leader in creating strategies and solutions around bias evaluation and mitigation in #artificialintelligence (AI), @ideas42 welcomes the @WhiteHouse's recent actions to promote the responsible use of AI in healthcare.

We're thrilled to be mentioned in a new paper co-authored by @ideas42 academic affiliate @Susan_Athey!

Take a look at our research and see how it's making an impact. #machinelearning #behavioralscience

"We already know that #artificialintelligence inherits biases from humans. The question that we are asking in our laboratory is how [AI] can influence human decisions."

More on how humans can absorb and carry bias beyond their interactions with AI. https://t.co/YNenRzczf3

@atheendar @DavidBangsberg So well deserved, and love your future plan!

[M. Kit Delgado, MD, MS @kit_delgadoMD]

Excited to announce more details on our agenda and speakers for the 2023 Nudges in Health Care Symposium! We also accepted 40 abstracts for presentation!

There are few seats left. Register by September 1st here: https://t.co/Z4lS0gdtiV

[Ted Robertson @tedr2020]

Great result, and speaks to the need for more packages of interventions

[Mitesh Patel @miteshspatel]

Nudges are often directed to only patients or doctors, but shared decision-making includes both. In a new study in @JAMACardio we found nudges to patients AND doctors tripled statin prescribing and worked better than nudges to either group alone. https://t.co/743fHBFppP @sri_adu

Medicare and Medicaid allocate ~ $24 billion in subsidies to safety-net hospitals each year.

In a paper out today in @JAMANetworkOpen, @ChatterjeePaula and I show these subsidies are biased against communities of color.

While not having the force of law, this will add momentum to the fight for ethical, good AI - including those of us combatting bias in healthcare and well beyond. @ideas42

Behaviorally informed public health messaging can help alleviate or prevent future public health crises. 3 good heuristics for this:

1️⃣ Establishing authenticity2️⃣ Continual transparency
3️⃣ Communicating with empathy

This may end up being the canonical article on turnout differences by demographic groups for the past decade. A must-read. https://t.co/IxxGcLJIyI

[Ziad Obermeyer @oziadias]

Interested in ML for social good?

@ideas42 is a fantastic place to work, and their new work in this space is super exciting—apply here!

[Ted Robertson @tedr2020]

So deserving! You’re a bright light in a tough time, Atheen! @ideas42

[Alison Buttenheim @abuttenheim]

I'm just a behavior scientist standing in front of health researchers trying to make them realize that "behavioral economics" doesn't just mean financial incentives.

[Ted Robertson @tedr2020]

Amazing Ziad, way to go!

[Ziad Obermeyer @oziadias]

I spend a lot of “research” time pleading for access to health data

@m_sendhil and I co-founded a new nonprofit, @NightingaleOS, so you don’t have to

We link medical imaging data + ground truth outcomes, and make it available—free!

Launching tomorrow at #NeurIPS2021

[Ted Robertson @tedr2020]

We're figuring out how to build healthy habits RT @ideas42: We're working with @C4HDS to test whether cue-reward-repetition principles help w/ #medicationadherence in patients w/ gout.
Stay tuned for results of a 3 arm RCT testing next year

Way to go Ric Lagrange and Lee-Sien Kao! RT @rebecca_oran: 🚨 Policymakers/practitioners/anyone who cares about pediatric vaccines 🚨 from my teammates at @ideas42 with #actionable #behavioralscience tips for engaging #parents around the #CovidVaccine https://t.co/4fLhKKYhKq

[Behavioral Scientist @behscientist]

Ricardo LaGrange and Lee-Sien Kao explains that it's critical we understand that parents’ vaccine decisions for themselves may be different than those they make for their kids. https://t.co/nklHHShUFq

RT @AlisterFMartin: Check out our new pub in @JAM_ASAM:
