Technology for addiction

There’s a new application out and it’s got heart. One Day at a Timer is for use on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and helps to control addictive or compulsive behaviour. This motivational tool can be personalized to maintain a running count of the days, months and years since an individual has begun to take control of their problem, and supports their daily progress.

The application is especially useful to those who are addicted to drugs and alcohol, and even smoking and eating addictions may be helped. Ultimately, the aim is to help cement the individual’s commitment to discontinue just about any dysfunctional behaviour.

This new creation proves just how intimate and influential a smart phone application can be. Furthermore it shows us how thinking outside of the box can allow us to use technology in innovative ways; to connect with people on a deeply personal level.
