SWIPE - Brain Training description

SWIPE is a novel “brain-training” app that uses a form of cognitive training known as Approach Bias Modification (ABM) to help users reduce their alcohol consumption. ABM works by semi-subconsciously training your brain to automatically avoid alcohol cues, and automatically approach positive cues. Simply upload images of the drinks you want to avoid and the activities you want to start doing more of, and you're ready to go! Researchers from Monash University are currently trialling this app in order to test its efficacy, acceptability and feasibility. If successful, SWIPE will be a free, quick and easy-to-use app that can support anyone who wishes to reduce their drinking.
