Ritch is an interactive narrative and questionnaire application, guided by an Avatar assistant. The avatar and tasks inside the application help reinforce coping skills to severe issues like drug abuse and lack of anger management. The application allows users to create an account which sends that data up a secure database, stored with no identifying information of the user. The application then uses that account to save question and quiz data to report the findings back to our researchers.
