The Ohio Opioid Technology Challenge is a three-phase prize competition that seeks to accelerate the development and deployment of innovative technology solutions that address the opioid crisis through addiction prevention and treatment, and overdose avoidance and response.
The Challenge Phase consists of four Challenge Topics that address specific unmet needs or concerns related to opioid use, abuse and exposure. This Topic seeks solutions that eliminate or reduce urges, cravings, or symptoms of withdrawal.
Opioids are highly addictive and create serious addictive responses within those using them. When an individual finishes a prescription, or when an addicted user seeks recovery, their initial side-effects can be serious. Withdrawal symptoms can include nausea, sleeplessness or restlessness, and agitation. Even individuals who have undergone addiction treatment still fight urges and cravings that can lead to relapse.
This Topic seeks long lasting solutions to better prevent an addictive response from the use of opioids by eliminating or reducing urges, or by better treating the symptoms of withdrawal.
