Behavioural and Experimental Economics Team (beet), officially operating on Ministry of Health of the Slovak Ministry of Health as the Department of Innovative Approaches in Health Care. Beet's mission is to bring proven principles and solutions based on behavioral science to the Slovak healthcare system. We believe that by using approaches that take into account all aspects of human behaviour, we can improve the quality of Slovak healthcare. Our main goal is to make the latest medical knowledge accessible to all.
Our work is based on the hypothesis that human behavior and decision making is not always rational because it is influenced by a number of behavioral factors. However, the previous practice of policy approaches has often not taken behavioural factors into account, which may have made the proposed solutions inaccurate or incorrect. Beet perceives the factors of rationality as well as irrationality of human behaviour and has the ambition to translate them into health policy making.
