Episode Description

Healthcare has long been built on the assumption that patients will make rational decisions when presented with the right information. Dan Ariely explains why that assumption consistently falls short—and how healthcare leaders can design systems that better reflect the realities of human behavior, improving everything from medication adherence to patient trust and long-term outcomes.
