We're going to enroll subjects nationwide, hopefully over The Next Few Years, and I know that one of the things from listening that could happen is this could increase, I hate to say, treatment compliance, but client views of treatment, because it can really help them drive their own specific treatment plan when they're noticing something like the situation you spoke of in a family member's driveway.
Imagine a device that could help you manage cravings and stress without anyone knowing you're wearing it. That's exactly what Dr. Stephanie Careiro discusses in this episode of 'Scope of Practice'. She's the mind behind RAE, a groundbreaking wearable system designed to support those in recovery. RAE stands for Realize, Analyze, Engage, and it does just that by tracking patterns of cravings, stress, and drug use. This information helps tailor treatment plans for better outcomes. Dr.
Careiro dives into how the device works, including the validation studies using electrodermal activity, which measures skin conductance. This isn't just tech talk; it's about giving people the tools to take control of their recovery journey. The device's discreet design ensures it's not identifiable as a medical tool, making it more accessible and less stigmatizing. But that's not all. The episode also shines a light on the crucial role of peer workers and value-based care in addiction recovery.
These elements, combined with the innovative technology of the RAE system, offer a fresh perspective on how we can support those battling addiction. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just interested in the latest advancements in addiction treatment, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Tune in to discover how wearable technology is paving the way for more personalized and effective recovery strategies.
