Real World Evaluation of the Effectiveness and Implementation of a Digital Health Therapeutic for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)

Participation in the study will last 12 months. Participants will be asked to complete assessments at 33 timepoints over the 12-month trial. This will include 1 screening assessment, 24 weekly assessments, 6 monthly assessments, and 2 follow-up assessments. All study assessments will be completed remotely.

Staff at each site will identify potential participants being treated with buprenorphine for opioid use disorder at their respective site. Providers will introduce the study and if interested, the participant will complete a screening assessment conducted by trained study staff to determine eligibility for the study.

Participants who are eligible will be enrolled into the study and given access to the KIOS app.

The active phase will include the first 6 months during which time participants will use the app, complete monthly assessments, and complete a weekly craving assessment. The second 6 months in the study will include two follow-up assessments at 9 months and 12 months post study start. At the end of the 12 months, app access will be removed. The follow up assessments will include the monthly assessments that were completed during the active phase, as well as the craving assessment. All assessments will be sent to the participants' email address for them to complete on any device with internet access. At the conclusion of 12 months of study participation, focus groups will be conducted with 25 of the participants to gather information about their perspectives on the app and its usability and features.
