Description

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to develop and evaluate the loyalty/reward-based digital technologies (e.g., mobile medical app/device platforms and other digital technologies) to be used as a combination product to increase medication adherence. The objective of Phase I (R43) is to establish the feasibility and/or validation of the device, and Phase 2 is designed to test the efficacy of the reward-based platform in a larger sample. The primary endpoint is adherence to FDA-approved medications for substance use disorders. Rewards and contingencies should be delivered in a self-sustaining manner and include a front-end interface allowing treatment providers to monitor progress and deliver rewards. Platforms may include novel features including, but not limited to, automated tracking tools, real-time assessments of patient progress, medication intake, and momentary assessment. Data generated from these studies are to be used to support a 510k submission to seek clearance as an FDA cleared device.
