While treatment for addictive disorders has made significant progress, there are still several limitations that exist in the current landscape. These limitations include treatment gap, stigma to seeking help, limited resources, lack of personalization and application of technology.
Technology-based solutions offer a promising avenue for addiction treatment and recovery support. They have the potential to revolutionize the field by increasing accessibility, personalization, and long-term support, ultimately improving outcomes for individuals struggling with addiction.
This Research Topic aims to delve into the exciting possibilities offered by the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), social media, gamification and Virtual reality (VR) in developing effective treatments and interventions for addictive disorders and recovery.
Technology-based solutions such as AI-powered virtual assistants can offer continuous support and personalized reminders, enhance treatment adherence and long-term recovery. Analysing social media behaviors can help us gain insights into user habits, triggers and support networks. Gamification techniques can be used to increase engagement and reinforce positive behaviors. VR can provide individuals with immersive environments to experience simulated triggers and holds promise for desensitization and relapse prevention.
This Research Topic will cover various research topics about addiction and technology-based solutions as follows:
1. Development and evaluation of the integration of technology-based solutions for addictive disorders
2. Application of artificial intelligence in personalized digital therapeutics for addiction treatment
3. Development and evaluation of virtual reality-based interventions for addiction
4. Assessment of digital health interventions for alcohol addiction
5. Role of social media platforms in promoting or preventing addictive behaviors
6. Analysis of gamification techniques for addiction recovery
7. Development and validation of digital tools for screening and early intervention in addictive behaviors
8. Efficacy of technology-based solutions in the treatment of substance use disorders
