If we can kind of collect enough data so that we know that you're at risk and then deliver on that a little push, a little nudge, a little reminder, even if it's pretty low tech, the potential benefit is huge, and that's what it's all about.
Imagine having the right support exactly when you need it most. Dr. Tyler Wray, the Edens Family Chair in Healthcare Communications & Technology at Brown University, dives into this concept on 'The Addiction Psychologist' podcast. He explores how technology can be a game-changer for those battling addiction, offering 'just-in-time' interventions that provide critical help during moments of emotional distress or intense cravings. These timely nudges can make all the difference in steering someone towards healthier choices. In this episode, Dr.
Wray discusses the practicalities and challenges of implementing these tech-driven interventions, especially in our increasingly digital world. He highlights how remote enrollment and data collection have become vital tools, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, to reach vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations. His insights are not just theoretical; they’re grounded in real-world applications that show promise for enhancing recovery outcomes. Dr. Wray also emphasizes the importance of diversity, health equity, and inclusivity in the field of addiction psychology.
He calls for more inclusive research practices and policies that support the development and dissemination of these innovative interventions. If you’re curious about how cutting-edge technology can aid in addiction recovery or interested in the intersection of digital health and behavior change, this episode is a must-listen.
