A4i-O: A Platform for Complex Behavioral Health to Address OUD
Sponsor: Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
Summary
For the purposes of beta testing the first version of A4i-O, 15 individuals with OUD will use the platform for one month. From a design perspective this sample size is viewed as being sufficient to answer questions regarding app functionality and feasibility before moving to larger trials. Additionally, 15 individuals is a larger sample size than in the A4i pilot. This is an open label pilot with a primary objective of troubleshooting and providing early feedback on the beta version of the technology. To that end, 15 participants are anticipated to be sufficient to provide robust, early feedback. As with the focus groups, through sampling an effort will be made to secure a diverse group. Any individuals who might be declined in that effort at this stage (e.g., it is determined that no more male identifying participants are needed but they were interested) would be invited to take part in the subsequent RCT.

App for Independence-O (A4i-O)
A4i-O is a digital health platform designed to support individuals with opioid use disorders. A4i-O will focus on providing education on treatment options, recovery navigation, social activation and connections to a range of resources. It aims to assist with fostering self-management and recovery through identifying risks for relapse, navigating urges/cravings, coping with shame/guilt, avoiding relapse, moving forward after relapse, and lived experiences. Daily wellness and goal attainment check-ins to highlight mental health trajectories will be prompted. With appropriate consent from both the client and provider, a provider dashboard is accessible to the client's provider prior to their appointment, generating a summary of day-to-day wellness ratings, responses to reminders, goal progressions, and other self-reported measures from the platform.
