About MyFreedom Android App

Most people are not aware of the severity of their addictions or if they are actually addicted and need help. This is because, the tools used to carry out alcohol and drugs addiction assessment are not easily accessible. Most of the tools that can be easily assessed still require an expert to translate the results. The assessment tools can be found in addiction treatment institutions and at that point the addiction has already developed and they are rarely used to prevent the addiction from developing.
Most alcohol and drugs users find the process costly and are afraid of stigmatisation thus there is need for having an easily accessible, simple to use, private and smart tool for addiction assessment like a mobile application. The tool should be able to assess the addiction severity and then provide treatment plans or control measures without the need of an expert which can be very helpful for individuals and the government in its fight against addiction.
The requirements include: user management, assessment management, providing diagnosis, help manage addictions, find and validate clinicians or sponsors nearby, provide intervention options, display and analyse results from assessments and generate graphs, and create awareness of drugs and alcohol related problems.
User management includes enabling users to register, login and manage their profiles, and ensuring their anonymity. Assessment management involves all assessment related activities like: adding, updating, or deleting assessments, assessment questions and answers, and editing the assessment scores and diagnosis. Drugs and alcohol users, should be able to take an assessment, view their results, get notified of a follow-up and take the follow up. They should also be able to get their assessment results and diagnosis based on past similar diagnosis. Addicts can be helped to manage their addictions by: continuous monitoring, suggesting tools for managing their triggers, provide support through providing a platform for them to communicate with clinicians and supervisors, notify an addict when at high-risk locations, and help the track the days when they are sober. Intervention and social networking can be done through a messaging interface.
