What this research studies

We are working to make digital health tools, like mobile apps, much more effective and long-lasting for preventing and treating substance use disorder and HIV. Our approach combines insights from how people behave with advanced artificial intelligence to create tools that can learn and adapt over time. This means the digital interventions will continually improve based on societal changes and also become highly personalized to each individual's changing needs, offering support that feels just right for them.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: This research is focused on developing interventions for adults aged 21 and older who are at risk for or living with substance use disorder and HIV.

Not a fit: Patients who do not use digital health technology or prefer traditional in-person care may not directly benefit from this specific digital intervention development.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to highly effective and personalized digital tools that provide ongoing support for individuals dealing with substance use disorder and HIV.

How similar studies have performed: While digital health interventions exist, this project aims to develop novel methodologies for continual optimization and personalization using advanced AI, representing a new generation of such tools.
