Using Choice-based Design to Improve Health
Mar 01, 2021
Using a new framework from the 2018 award-winning book Choice Architecture: A New Approach to Behavior, Design, and Wellness, we show how understanding human choice and action in architectural settings can reorient health care design from cure to prevention. Choice-based design can induce healthy actions in users via principles of rational choice and behavioral economics. The paper presents a way to design environments in a systematic and scientific way so as to influence a more holistic set of health-promoting behaviors in people.
