Virtual Rehab: COMPREHENSIVE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT PROGRAM USING AI & VR TECH

hasantpq01349 (18)in #ai • 6 years ago

Despite increasing evidence that addiction is a treatable disease of the brain, most individuals do not receive treatment. Involvement in the criminal justice system often results from illegal drug-seeking behavior and participation in illegal activities that reflect, in part, disrupted behavior ensuing from brain changes triggered by repeated drug use. Treating drug-involved offenders provides a unique opportunity to decrease substance abuse and reduce associated criminal behavior. Emerging neuroscience has the potential to transform traditional sanction-oriented public safety approaches by providing new therapeutic strategies against addiction that could be used in the criminal justice system. We summarize relevant neuroscientific findings and evidence-based principles of addiction treatment that, if implemented in the criminal justice system, could help improve public heath and reduce criminal behavior.

The past 20 years have seen significant increases in the numbers of individuals incarcerated or under other forms of criminal justice supervision in the United States. These numbers are staggering—approximately 7.1 million adults in the United States are under some form of criminal justice supervision. The large increase in the criminal justice population reflects in part tougher laws and penalties for drug offenses. An estimated one-half of all prisoners (including some sentenced for other than drug offenses) meet the criteria for diagnosis of drug abuse or dependence.

The Virtual Rehab program is a program for prevention of substance use disorder, pain management, and rehabilitation of repeat offenders. The Virtual Rehab provides a digital simulation of the true world (utilizing cognitive habits & publicity remedy) complimented with a singular professional system to investigate outcomes of remedy periods, to determine areas of threat, and to supply remedy suggestions.

Following months of studies, research, and evaluation, Virtual Rehab program will provides with the following pillars:

Virtual Reality
Artificial Intelligence
Blockchain Technology
VRH Token

Virtual Reality

The past two decades has witnessed the emergence of virtual reality (VR) as a major tool for investigation, assessment, and management of medical and psychiatric disorders. The growing interest in medical applications of VR is highlighted by the fact that the number of scientific articles published in Medline every year on this topic increased from 45 in 1995 to 951 in 2003 to 3,203 in 2010. There are many definitions of VR, one of which is given here: “Virtual reality refers to immersive, interactive, multi-sensory, viewer-centered, three dimensional computer generated environments and the combination of technologies required to build these environments.”

After doing plenty of research, identifying the market need, and confirming that studies have been conducted successfully by leading university, Virtual Rehab will take Virtual Reality as one of the Pillars. The results showed that 87% of participating patients have shown an overall improvement across various metrics within the following categories:

Problem Recognition & Acceptance
Openness to Change
Locus of Control
Decision-Making Influences
Emotional Intelligence & Regulation
Motivation & Resilience

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. Some of the activities computers with artificial intelligence are designed for include:

Speech recognition
Learning
Planning
Problem solving

Virtual Rehab is using it along with Virtual Reality to make solution even more powerful. The company have built and are constantly enhancing a unique expert system which helps identify areas of risk, make treatment recommendations, and predict post-therapy behavior (in other words, the way a person would act after therapy is complete).

Blockchain Technology

Virtual Rehab will leverage blockchain technology to provide a secure network to ensure privacy and decentralization of all data and all information relevant to vulnerable populations. A blockchain is a digitized, decentralized, public ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions. Constantly growing as ‘completed’ blocks (the most recent transactions) are recorded and added to it in chronological order, it allows market participants to keep track of digital currency transactions without central recordkeeping.

Efficiencies resulting from Blockchain can add up to some serious cost savings. Blockchain systems make it possible for businesses and banks to streamline internal operations, dramatically reducing the expense, mistakes, and delays caused by traditional methods for reconciliation of records.

The widespread adoption of Blockchain will bring enormous cost savings in three areas, advocates say:

Electronic ledgers are much cheaper to maintain than traditional accounting systems; the employee headcount in back offices can be greatly reduced.
Nearly fully automated DLT systems result in far fewer errors and the elimination of repetitive confirmation steps.
Minimizing the processing delay also means less capital being held against the risks of pending transactions.

VRH Token

An ERC-20 utility token that empowers users to purchase services and to be rewarded for seeking help through Virtual Rehab’s online portal. Users will be able to purchase and sell VRH tokens in exchanges. The VRH Token is core to Virtual Rehab’s end-to-end operations.

When using VRH tokens, users will be able to:
