ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Digital health interventions offer opportunities to expand access to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, collect objective real-time data, and deliver just-in-timeinterventions:
however implementation has been limited. RAE (Realize, Analyze, Engage) Health is a digital tool which uses continuous physiologic data to detect high risk behavioral states (stress and craving) during SUD recovery.METHODS:
This was an observational study to evaluate the digital stress and craving detection during outpatient SUD treatment. Participants were asked to use the RAE Health app, wear a commercial-grade wrist sensor over a 30-day period. They were asked to self-report stress and craving, at which time were offered brief in-app de-escalation tools. Supervised machine learning algorithms were applied retrospectively to wearable sensor data obtained to develop group-based digital biomarkers for stress and craving. Engagement was assessed by number of days of utilization, and number of hours in a given day of connection.RESULTS:
Sixty percent of participants (N=30) completed the 30-day protocol. The model detected stress and craving correctly 76 % and 69 % of the time, respectively, but with false positive rates of 33 % and 28 % respectively. All models performed close to previously validated models from a research grade sensor. Participants used the app for a mean of 14.2 days (SD 10.1) and 11.7 h per day (SD 8.2). Anxiety disorders were associated with higher mean hours per day connected, and return to drug use events were associated with lower mean hours per day connected.CONCLUSIONS:
Future work should explore the effect of similar digital health systems on treatment outcomes and the optimal dose of digital interventions needed to make a clinically significant impact.Palabras clave
