Good behaviors need to be encouraged with visually beautiful reminders. We have signage in our environment to remind us of one-way streets and to alert us of an area with deaf children.
Where are the beautiful reminders to behave in a healthy way? Traditional healthcare has always thought of this in terms of the very paternal "patient compliance." I don't believe in this term. Using words like compliance is needed when people don't understand short or long-term value to their own personal lives. It is a communication failure.
Designing systems for personalized communication using aesthetically pleasing reminders should play a central role in every day health decisions.
