Derek Yach, SVP Global Health and Policy, B1OS

It is a well-known saying that "Prevention is better than Cure." Traditionally, healthcare has focused on providing solutions to diseases and complications. This is costly to people and societies and robs people of many years of healthy living. People everywhere seek to live healthy lives and avoid the need for healthcare but struggle to act in their best long-term health interests. The pandemic has brought the importance of good health into short relief with deaths and complications substantially higher among people with chronic diseases and their associated unhealthy risks.

During this Executive Insight, Derek will focus on the following topics:

• What will be the future of mental health?
• How to establish lifelong health-promoting behaviors?
• How to draw upon advances in behavioral economics linked to emerging personalized digital technologies to make “healthier choices the easier choices.”
