Nudges and Prompts Increase Engagement in Self-Guided Digital Health Treatment for Depression and Anxiety: Results From a 3-Arm Randomized Controlled Trial

Nudges and Prompts Increase Engagement in Self-Guided Digital Health Treatment for Depression and Anxiety: Results From a 3-Arm Randomized Controlled Trial

There is a lack of quality research analyzing the use of nudges in digital health. A 2019 scoping review examined the use of nudges in both web-based and real-world settings in physical activity interventions [35]. Of the 35 publications reviewed, 8 were web-based studies. The authors concluded that although nudging may be an effective approach to promote physical activity, there are large gaps in research, and further studies that are explicitly based on nudge insights are needed.

Decreasing Opioid Addiction and Diversion Using Behavioral Economics Applied Through a Digital Engagement Solution: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Decreasing Opioid Addiction and Diversion Using Behavioral Economics Applied Through a Digital Engagement Solution: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

We hypothesize that appropriate patient opioid use and diverted prescription opioid availability can both be improved by information delivery applied through a behavioral economics lens via sending nudges directly to the opioid users, that is, patients. We anticipate not only better management of opioid use and its safe disposal but also expect to obtain a better understanding of the unresolved questions regarding how pain medication is used in acute perioperative settings.

Testing Behavioral Nudges and Prompts in Digital Courses for the Self-guided Treatment of Depression and Anxiety: Protocol for a 3-Arm Randomized Controlled Trial

Testing Behavioral Nudges and Prompts in Digital Courses for the Self-guided Treatment of Depression and Anxiety: Protocol for a 3-Arm Randomized Controlled Trial

A 2020 editorial in Personalized Medicine addressed the meaningful adoption of nudges in digital health [33]. The authors acknowledged that the use of nudges in digital health interventions is rare and advocated for the use of nudges to promote positive behavior change. In applied behavioral analysis, behavioral prompts are cues that are specifically designed to encourage individuals to perform a specific task [34].

Digital Phenotypes for Understanding Individuals' Compliance With COVID-19 Policies and Personalized Nudges: Longitudinal Observational Study

Digital Phenotypes for Understanding Individuals' Compliance With COVID-19 Policies and Personalized Nudges: Longitudinal Observational Study

Our primary research contribution is the introduction of an approach that employs behavioral differences derived from digital phenotyping in the design of personalized nudges. Although we did not conduct an experiment to measure the real-time effects of personalized nudges, the proposed nudges conform to the general guidelines in behavioral science and are expected to improve individual compliance to them.

Recruitment of Participants for a 3D Virtual Supermarket: Cross-sectional Observational Study

Recruitment of Participants for a 3D Virtual Supermarket: Cross-sectional Observational Study

While pricing strategies can be seen as “harder” approaches, nudges can be seen as “softer,” as nudges are less intrusive and simply alter the choice environment to make the healthy choice the easier choice, without removing the unhealthy choice [3].
