I think it is challenging and it's also, I think, a sign of that this whole research field is at its very early stages.
Imagine having a personal coach in your pocket, ready to help you avoid those moments of weakness. In this episode of 'Addiction Audio', Dr. Rob Calder chats with Dr. Olga Perski about her groundbreaking research on just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs). These interventions use smartphones to provide timely support to individuals trying to quit or cut down on alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs. Dr.
Perski delves into the complexities of defining JITAIs and why it's crucial to conduct more research before jumping into large-scale trials. She also discusses the exciting potential of tools like Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and GPS positioning in tailoring interventions to individual needs. But it's not all smooth sailing; regulating mobile health apps to ensure they're effective and safe is a significant challenge. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the intersection of technology and addiction recovery.
