Quem irá atrás do coelho? O elo entre Data Science e Psicologia | Ana Carolina Peuker | TEDxUFRGS


I was always curious as alice in the

Wonderland

I consider that there are two types of

people who actually go behind

bunny with alice and make beautiful

discoveries and those that are

as Alice’s sister at the beginning of the book

doing good wants me badly wants me

sitting by the river

maybe that’s why I got interested in

study chemical dependency

chemical addiction is intriguing

because users have enough

difficulty in finding the output of a

great maze

in the middle of all this has a paradox

people persist in using the

damn it

despite acknowledging the consequences

negatives that this use brings to life

from them

that is, there is great resistance to

change

This is mainly because

drugs affect a more frontal part of the

our brain that has evolved more

recently throughout our

evolution is where our

rationality to drugs change

functionally structurally many

times in an area that is

responsible for the control of our

impulses where our

rationality

we can consider the use of drugs

as a disease of decision making

because users end up having a lot

difficulty in assessing the risks and

benefits of a situation what the

studies show that they end up

choosing smaller rewards and

immediate benefits of qt

in the future and because it is a

behavior so difficult to change the

field of dependency studies

chemistry

contributed much to the understanding of the

human motivation, which means that a

person persists in behavior

even acknowledging the losses that

are associated there what I wanted

after almost 15 years students

neurobiological aspects and

behaviors of drug users was to bring

all this knowledge about the process

change and apply

then to me after those years of

study the reflection that I do is that

psychology is the science of change

because psychology can bring us

elements to contribute to helping

people to change their behavior

adaptive we will say so and

have a healthier life

this reasoning it does not apply only

dependence on the difficulty of

naturally change that in the case of

addiction ends up being more

difficult due to all the damage

caused in the brain but it is not

restricted to chemical dependence

change is difficult for anyone

everyone here has tried in some

moment or has already experienced difficulty

I played in engaging in some new

behavior such as making a diet or

start practicing physical activity

so the reflection I made was that

is this difficulty the existence

refractor age resistance to change

it was not exclusive to

health behaviors

a patient for example with diabetes he

have to make a complete rearrangement in your

health routine will begin to incorporate

new habits practice physical activity

change their eating habits and

that we see in practice that this is

very difficult people end up not

adhering to

prescribed recommendations is common to

people know a diabetic who steals

yes in party

So what I wanted was to apply the whole

knowledge I gained in the field of

addiction and studying

the human motivation to solve

real life problems

I always wanted to apply the theory in

practice and test my skills

of researcher my skills

in the real world

It turns out that researchers have

an ability to solve problems

complex and life-long

presents complex problems

just that all this knowledge that I

restless was that all knowledge

which is developed in the whole academy

this effort throughout the

time ends up being confined to the

academy in that environment hermetically

closed and what worried me was

to see all this effort, one sees that

it often did not fit on the map

and in practical application

then, in short, researchers have the

ability to solve problems

complexes that could have a very

more real life and because of this

distance between theory and research that

does not end up happening between

practice it ends up not happening

that happens more and more people are

inserted in a highly complex environment

technology has transformed our

lives

in a few years we will have more

conviction that this change has been

for good or for evil and what is known

is that 90% of the dredged data produced

in the world and made available

they are they were produced in the

last two years

this has

have been exponentially and to deal with

with all this progress with all this

change that technology has brought to

People need to be innovative creatively .

we can not continue acting like

We act last year and forever.

innovative asset as opposed to

a lot of people imagine

it’s no use just to have good ideas

People need to have method to ask.

discipline to be able to do this

better as science teaches us

so a science that has

has grown a trend that has grown

it ‘s data essence or dates come out

Come on, I know that for us.

to take advantage of this wealth of

information that has grown

exponential

we need more than a child in the

common sense

it is no longer enough to apply statistics

the data that is available

it is necessary to apply intelligence to

these data to extract knowledge

a metaphor that I like to use is

a beekeeper to get the

information for us to extract honey in

in this case since it is there you need

an entire technological scientific apparatus

We can not simply

approach and squeeze bee

so the reasoning is more or less

science allows people to

can understand all this mass of

data

and it was with this reasoning that I

space for innovation and

develop my experience

enterprising in the health area which

I noticed that many times the

managers had

good intentions and improve the health of

your employees

by proposing a group terminating the

smoking or weight loss a group

but what I noticed is that

in general this data they are not

systematized

they are not

they do not obey a method there is

accurate assessment of the process and

result and often these actions

are conducted arbitrarily

for example a collaborator enters the

race group

often his health history

nor is he evaluated he has no idea of

as are their health examinations and

a number of other issues that

would be important to optimize your

results from the management point of view

generally known is the cost to

keep the group d this race group

but the return on

investment is not known the standard

epidemiology of this population

changed after the initiative, ie the

people are actually less

sedentary women are more obese than

quality of life

another example is the exams

periodicals to fulfill a

most companies

shall carry out those examinations in which

employees’ biological

collected but usually this

information is there forgotten

shelf

nothing is done with this happens that for

the researcher this reality is

inconceivable because the researchers love

the data because they know they can extract

of their knowledge

so I also learned studying

chemical dependency that when

people have their behavior

receive adequate feedback

regarding their performance in health and

are rewarded only by the goals

that they achieve adherence to

health behavior change is

much more likely

and that’s when I created that

technology solution that would

so that those who could all

happen through software

nowadays almost like in an episode

the black I see that it is an exhibited series

by netflix a British series

many of you should know

about the impact of technology on our

day to day we produce a series of

data on our health while

we walked how much we people

took water sleep one as are the

our heartbeat and the

science allows to understand all this

through lane machine can

guide the process of taking

decision

managers can make decisions

respect for the health of their

evidence-based employees

because the data is consolidated can

be analyzed to an economy of

resources and in people’s lives better

was in fact the technological advance

impact and has impacted our lives and

as well as hear all this change

in this sense our model of

efficiency also needs to change

needs to evolve

we must overcome a conception of

fragmentation of knowledge of a

super specialization I play that

today we have specialists from the

left river cancer

so this new model of

science, it does not necessarily

opposed to specialization but increasingly

more we will be required a type of

more complex thinking

We have to take advantage of this era.

technological connectivity to power

join

different areas of knowledge and seek

solutions that can be applied in the

practice, curiosity is an element

essential for us to discover and not

new to the unused to innovate

only without curiosity is much more than

accumulate a lot of information without

apply critical reasoning to the

of all this the knowledge to extract

knowledge to extract knowledge from the

people need to apply the method in this

everything as science teaches us

so my provocation is that it is

who will be the next to take a

idea that is there in the gym

paper

Who goes after the rabbit?

thank you

[Applause]
