Gambling Habit Hacker
An app that can help users meet the goal of changing their gambling behavior
The research team at Deakin University and the University of Auckland wanted to create an implementation planning app for at-risk/ problem gamblers that uses in-the-moment information about gambling behavior, urges, and mood to help them adhere to their personal goals. The challenge was to create an app that can tailor interventions according to users’ changing needs using the most up-to-date advances in intervention science.
Using Cogniss, they created an app to enables people to set up their gambling goals and helps them adhere to those goals.
This app is being funded by the NSW government.
