"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."

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. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… @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.

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.

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

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
