How Wearables Could Reshape Addiction Treatment

USING TECH TO STAY SOBER –

Feb. 1, 2023 – Outside of research settings, wearables are not widely used in treatment in large part because there are no clear, scientific connections between the most common data wearables track — heart rate and movement — and addiction itself and addiction treatment interventions. “I think that the value in a wearable is if you are changing your behavior as a result of the information you’re getting,” Hobelmann said. “The information has to be provided in a way that people can understand it, and then understanding how their behavior can improve that.”

Ashley Addiction Treatment operates its main campus in Havre de Grace, Maryland houses 117 beds on a 147-acre campus. It also operates two outpatient locations in Bel Air and Elkton, Maryland.
