Method And Apparatus For Treatment And Relapse Prevention In Alcohol, Chemical, And Other Dependencies

摘要

An application on a user's mobile device provides interaction and network support which may be based or supplemented with knowledge of the user's emotional state and risk of drug or alcohol dependency relapse. The user's emotional state may be determined in a number of interrelated and/or independent ways including asking the user to rate his/her state, games/quizzes, and/or pictures of the user, any one or more of which may be analyzed for emotional cues. The application establishes an emotional baseline, identifies triggers, tracks movements/activities, and helps the user stay on the road to recovery through consistent messaging, advice, ideas, and feedback. The user's network is notified if conditions point to a likely or imminent relapse and a response team may be automatically selected and notified to intercede in a virtual and/or physical intervention.
