Summary
This chapter reviews how ubiquitous mobile technology can be used to better understand and improve recovery from alcohol use disorder. Distinct applications of both active and passive technology-assisted data collection (i.e., ecological momentary assessment, ambulatory assessment) to assess alcohol use and broader recovery outcomes are described. Previous studies of and future opportunities to use these methods to examine recovery-related processes and mechanisms of behavior change are highlighted. Promising mobile-based interventions or recovery support services examined to date are described, ranging from classic telehealth approaches to sophisticated interventions relying on both self-reported and sensor-based inputs to tailor the timing and content of intervention (i.e., ecological momentary interventions, Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions). The chapter concludes with discussion of the potential for these interventions to achieve individualized intervention optimization (i.e., personalized treatment, precision medicine).
