    SOAR (Smartphones for Opioid Addiction Recovery) system (battery + platform) as a tool for adjusting MOUD dosages to reduce treatment dropout.

Study Details

Treatments for opioid addiction exist, but effectiveness is compromised when subjects use illicit opiates during treatment. Reuse rates during treatment can be high, and reducing illicit opiate use during treatment has thus recently become a major NIDA policy goal. The 5-minute battery indicates the numerical probability that a patient will reuse illicit opiates within the next 7-10 days.

  • Experimental: Smartphone with dose changes before using
    Participants will have an app installed on their phone and have to complete a brief questionnaire and some days to play a 2-4 minute game.
  • Experimental: Focus group with Study Physicans
    Study physicians asked to participate in a focus group session or 1:1 interviews if unable to attend the focus group during year one of the study and once annually towards the end of years 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the study
  • Experimental: Focus group with Clinicians
    Clinicians asked to participate in a 1:1 interview and a separate focus group at roughly the same time. Prior to the first structured interview with our study team, you will participate in a 1-hour training and familiarization session with the SOAR system using synthetic or training data.

Primary Outcome Measure

Proportion of patients will reduce illicit substance reuse rates with PREDICTIVE-DOSING relative to treatment as usual (TAU). [ Time Frame: 1 month visit, 3 months visit, 6 months visit ]
