In this episode, Dean Newlund and Vishal Gondal discuss:

• How gamification influences long-term behavior change
• Shifting from reactive treatment to preventive healthcare models
• Understanding the gap between knowing and doing in health
• The role of AI in predicting and personalizing health interventions
• Exploring human purpose and spirituality in the age of AI
   

Key Takeaways:

• Gamification works best when tasks are aligned with a person's skill level and progress is reinforced through small, consistent rewards.
• Most people already know what to do for their health, but the challenge lies in sustained motivation, not access to more information.
• The current healthcare system is incentivized to treat sickness instead of preventing it, which misaligns its goals with actual health outcomes.
• Artificial intelligence is enabling real-time, personalized health risk predictions that can guide users to make proactive lifestyle changes.
   

"AI is going to force the healthcare system to transform, because now you no longer have to have a probability game—it’s a predictability game.” — Vishal Gondal
