Contingency Management Companion Overview

The Contingency Management Companion is designed as a digital assistant aimed at supporting individuals dealing with addiction through personalized interventions and real-time monitoring. It integrates principles of contingency management and ecological momentary assessment to offer tailored support. Utilizing user responses from periodic questionnaires, it assesses the addiction needs and risk levels (high, medium, low) of relapsing. A high risk indicates a greater likelihood of relapse, necessitating immediate interventions, whereas a low risk suggests stable management of the addiction. The system emphasizes resilience, self-control, and rational approaches to overcoming addiction, promoting healthy coping mechanisms and the importance of professional help, while maintaining a non-judgmental and empathetic stance.
