AlcoChange is a digital therapeutic designed to provide digital behaviour change interventions (DBCIs) for individuals with alcohol-related liver disease (ArLD). These DBCIs are based on the CyberLiver Behaviour Change (CBC) Model, which integrates a number of behaviour change principles into a model tailored for liver disease patients.
AlcoChange, as an adjunct to a contingency management system, is intended for patients 18 years of age and older who are currently enrolled in outpatient treatment under the supervision of a clinician. AlcoChange is indicated as a 90 days prescription-only treatment for patients with ArLD. AlcoChange is intended to increase abstinence and retention within the outpatient treatment program.
Setup drink-free goals
Behaviour change starts with setting up a goal, AlcoChange recommends you to set drink-free goals and facilitates action planning by recording your reasons to stay drink-free, triggers for drinking and personalising coping strategies that could help overcome the urge to drink. Goals are reviewed and reset throughout the therapy.
