Using mobile phones to assist patients in recovering from ketamine addiction

Published: 07 September 2015 Publication History

Abstract

This paper proposes a phone-based support system to enable drug-addicted patients to maintain abstinence after completing drug withdrawal treatment. Through a customized saliva screening device and patients' mobile phones, the self-administered saliva tests and support functions provided by the system can facilitate self-monitoring and managing in daily life.
