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. Topic 1 seeks solutions that rapidly identify individuals at high risk of addiction
Persons become involved with the use of opioids by a variety of pathways—receiving a prescription to address pain after injury or surgery or to manage chronic pain, using illicit drugs, providing patient care as a clinician or first responder.
One way to address addiction is to understand whether a person who is a candidate to receive an opioid has a predisposition to become an addict. If a physician could administer a diagnostic to understand the risk for addiction before prescribing opioids, then he/she could consider alternative methods of treatment for those at high risk of addiction.
