Try reducing alcohol use with phone and sensor tracking
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether “less alcohol” is achievable by using smartphone apps and wearable/breath sensors to track drinking. It is for adults who drink often and live with HIV, and it tests a plan that starts with a period of no alcohol, then shifts to fewer drinking days.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You’ve had frequent alcohol use in the last 30 days
- You are HIV positive
