RECOVRY 4.0

It is essential to look for new forms of care, with an emphasis on Prevention, Relocation and Replacement (Health & Care Knowledge and Innovation Agenda 2020-2030). Especially when it comes to Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Globally, more than 5% of all illness and injury are attributable to AUD. Treatment is challenging; 47-75% of AUD patients who are clinically detoxified relapse within one year. Recovry aims to prevent an unhealthy lifestyle due to (alcohol) addiction by developing and testing a Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented (AR) in clinic treatment and self-prevention tool (relocating and replacing care treatment). A key research question within professorship digital media concepts is the role of realism in VR, AR and virtual humans on experience and behavior, in this case the confidence and skills to say no to alcohol. This project helps to develop version 4.0 with many improvements related to new AR and VR technologies.
