Abstract

‘eRecovery’ is a suite of software providing an adjunct to clinical support for clients with a substance addiction to help manage relapse behaviour. As part of working on the design and implementation of a 24-month trial of eRecovery, we have created a practical, situated model of the uptake and use of the client facing mobile application software. The model supports organising, visualising and communicating the adoption, appropriation and on-going routine use of the technology. Factors at each stage in the model provide positive and negative tensions that determine whether and how a client progresses from one stage to the next.
