Study Description

The study is a parallel intervention examining the KIOS app, a digital health therapeutic intended to help individuals in recovery from opioid use disorder better self-manage their condition. KIOS will offer individualized, evidence-based behavioral intervention strategies responsive to the patients' current clinical status outside the setting of the doctor's office or treatment facility. KIOS makes it possible to process patient-entered data and provide responsive behavioral advice to patients specific to their condition in real time. KIOS gives patients 24/7 access to behavioral intervention strategies that can augment and improve response to routine clinic-based counseling interventions.
