ADULT & TEEN CHALLENGE USA ? ADDICTION RECOVERY 2.0 - TRANSFORMING LIVES WITH TECHNOLOGY - ADULT AND TEEN CHALLENGE USA (ATC), AS THE LEAD PROJECT AGENCY, IS REQUESTING FUNDING TO UTILIZE TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED BY SOBER PEER. THIS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE COMPLEXITIES OF PROVIDING SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDER TREATMENT AND RECOVERY SERVICES THROUGH THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY, ENCOURAGING A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR TO ALLOW RECOVERY PROGRAMS TO MOVE BEYOND EPISODIC HEALTH CARE TO CONTINUOUS, VALUE-BASED CARE FOR MORE EFFECTIVE OUTCOMES. THE PROJECT RECOGNIZES COMPLEX COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS BY USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN A MOBILE HEALTH ENVIRONMENT TO MAKE ASSESSMENTS OF BEHAVIOR MORE PRACTICAL AND AVAILABLE TO A DIGITALLY CONNECTED, UNREACHED POPULATION IN NEED; USES REAL WORLD EVIDENCE PROVEN TO ENCOURAGE SUBSTANCE ABUSERS TO BE HIGHLY INVOLVED IN THEIR OUTCOMES BY EXPLORING HOW PATTERNS OF NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR CAN BE MATHEMATICALLY IDENTIFIED AND CLINICALLY APPLIED TO DISRUPT SUCH BEHAVIORS ASSOCIATED WITH POOR RECOVERY OUTCOMES; SERVES AS A PRECURSOR FOR PRESCRIPTIVE THERAPY WHERE MEASURES CAN BE CLINICALLY APPLIED TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES; AND UNITES ADDICTION SERVICES FIELD AND HEALTHCARE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW TO BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF AN INDIVIDUAL, ESPECIALLY THOSE NEEDING ADDICTION TREATMENT WHO HAVE NOT YET ENGAGED WITH SPECIALTY SERVICES TO ADDRESS THEIR NEEDS.
