How is technology subtly, yet powerfully, reshaping our everyday health behaviors? In Part 1 of this episode, we welcome Zikea McCurdie, Wellness Director at Wellness360 and an expert in behavioral health. We dive into the burgeoning world where technology meets behavioral science, transforming our approaches to food, fitness, and overall well-being. Zikea reveals the rise of corporate wellness platforms leveraging "gamification" and subtle "nudges" to inspire lasting habits, from earning points for drinking water to getting a day off for hitting health goals. The conversation also explores cutting-edge innovations like augmented reality grocery shopping and predictive health apps that offer personalized insights from wearables and even advanced AI-powered devices, hinting at a future where managing our health is more integrated and intuitive than ever before. Tune in to discover the exciting tools already at play, and stay tuned for Part 2, where we delve even deeper!
