The minimum savings rate at which retirement plans should auto-enroll employees is 7%, in the author’s view.

"I think the concept that the nudge is to plant an idea that leads to an action is pretty much the basis of a lot of these healthcare interventions, which seems like a small way to have a big impact at outcome," Cho noted. "The behavioral science aspect of the nudges are also fascinating to me personally, and I think to a lot of the cardiologists in the audience, about how you actually get people to act. I think it's been a lifelong question for people in general, how do you get people to follow through on an action?"

The ethics of self-driving cars have been questioned for a long time for accident-related instances. Even today, self-driving cars face several dilemmas that need to be addressed urgently.

The systematic integration of quality-of-life (QOL) assessment into the clinical setting, although deemed important, infrequently occurs. Barriers include the need for a practical approach perceived as useful and efficient by patients and clinicians and the inability of clinicians to readily identify the value of integrating QOL assessments into the clinical setting. We discuss the use of QOL data in patient care and review approaches used to integrate QOL assessment into the clinical setting. Additionally, we highlight select QOL measures that have been successfully applied in the clinical setting. These measures have been shown to identify key QOL issues, improve patient-clinician communications, and improve and enhance patient care. However, the work done to date requires continued development. Continued research is needed that provides information about benefits and addresses limitations of current approaches.

Nudging – the idea that simple changes to how a choice is presented can lead people to make better decisions – has been one of the most popular ideas to emerge from economics in the past two decades.

To achieve a goal, a drive to do so is key. Yet not all motivation is created equal – and some factors driving a desire to succeed can even be harmful.

When diversity is well-implemented in healthcare materials, trust is built and patient-provider relationships improve. It also enhances the medical accuracy of the information presented.

Nudging – the idea that simple changes to how a choice is presented can lead people to make better decisions – has been one of the most popular ideas to emerge from economics in the past two decades. But nudging is now under attack, entangled in the bitter partisan dispute over pandemic policy responses.

Since the first randomized clinical trials on computerized clinical decision support (CDS) tools in the 1970s, numerous studies of clinician CDS have demonstrated improvement in clinical processes and, to a lesser extent, clinical outcomes across diverse use cases and settings. The widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) over the past decade across the US health system created the opportunity for the scaling of clinician CDS tools to increase uptake of evidence-based therapies in cardiovascular care, but myriad challenges, including poor user experience and lack of EHR interoperability, have limited the ability of CDS to address large gaps in evidence-based care.

For AI, IoT and other technologies to deliver on their promises, they must not only lead to better diagnoses but also healthier human behavior.
