The goal of this scoping review is to evaluate the advances in wearable and other wireless mobile health (mHealth) technologies in the treatment of substance use disorders.
There are a variety of wireless technologies under investigation for the treatment of substance use disorder. Wearable sensors are the most commonly used technology. They can be used to decrease heavy substance use, mitigate factors related to relapse, and monitor for overdose. New technologies pose distinct advantages over traditional therapies by increasing geographic availability and continuously providing feedback and monitoring while remaining relatively non-invasive.
Wearable and novel technologies are important to the evolving landscape of substance use treatment. As technologies continue to develop and show efficacy, they should be incorporated into multifactorial treatment plans.
本范围综述的目的是评估可穿戴及其他无线移动健康(mHealth)技术在物质使用障碍治疗方面的进展。
目前有多种无线技术正在研究用于物质使用障碍的治疗。可穿戴传感器是最常用的技术。它们可用于减少大量物质使用、减轻与复发相关的因素以及监测过量用药情况。新技术相较于传统疗法具有明显优势,可提高地理可及性,持续提供反馈和监测,同时相对无创。
可穿戴和新型技术对于不断发展的物质使用治疗格局至关重要。随着技术不断发展并显示出疗效,应将其纳入多因素治疗计划。
