Can we think of healthy habits as a kind of "process medicine"?
We prescribe medications. Could we prescribe processes—like a smoking cessation program or an exercise regimen—as a form of medicine?

Absolutely. In operations terms, that's exactly what "process medicine" means: the service delivery of health-promoting activities. It's not a pill or a device. It's a designed sequence of interactions, reminders, and supports aimed at changing behavior and improving health. A smoking cessation program isn't a product. It's a value-adding operational process. Thinking of it as "medicine" reframes prevention from optional advice to core treatment. The intervention isn't the drug. It's the process.
