Wow honored to have won the #ACC23 @ACCinTouch Innovation Pitch Challenge “People’s Choice” Award! Thanks @NIH @nih_nhlbi and to all who voted.
Whoa, surprised @nytimes chose to "pick"/feature my comment. 😲
FYI, it's a decent article about happiness, but, as I said in my comment, I think it's all a bit misguided.

I'm gonna call it: When companies resort to creative financial instruments to stay afloat, it's the .COM bubble, SubPrime Mortgage Crisis, Groundhog Day all over again.

Less than 20% of digital health startups reported a priced round in the last 18 months, according to a new PitchBook report. trib.al/jquZZIK
BREAKING: If you read only one report this year, this is it!
#DigitalTherapeutics' Come to Jesus moment, which we've warned about for YEARS.
Here's the TL;DR:
Digital #Diabetes tools used by millions of Americans don't deliver meaningful health benefits and increase healthcare spending, according to PHTI's newest evaluation.
Read the report, which recommends a new path forward for patients, payers, providers: phti.com/assessment/digital-…
"Intimacy is produced by habit. To maximise happiness in this age of choices, we need to inject more routine into our lives."
If you think "habit" is boring, you're doooooomed.

Still don't believe that @Noom is the Theranos of Digital Therapeutics?

@ExitsOutcomes
Great mythbusting analysis of Noom, @bddol @ExitsOutcomes! But, you underplayed a key discovery:
The NET adherence lift of Novo Nordisk's Saxenda attributable to Noom was just 15%, or just +23 days?! 🧐🤨😆

@HabitDesign
And shame on them for such juvenile Powerpoint graphic chicanery making +33% somehow look like +300%?! 🙄🤡
My old prof @EdwardTufte would be barfing at the screen right now. 🤮

Sad to hear how companies and their employees till get snookered by #corporatewellnessfail. We've been documenting this for years!
Ask not what you can do for your company, ask what your company can do for YOU (and not TO you).

... I'm also relieved that our @NIH-funded study, their first ever focused on habit training and coaching, covers each of those criteria! 😌
We're extremely selective and circumspect with promoting research by fellow #HabitDesign scientists 🧐🤔, but this paper easily passes muster and is a must read!
