MySafeRx - Overview
MySafeRx uses a mobile application (app) and electronic pill dispensers to deliver motivational coaching and medication adherence monitoring through text messaging and video conferencing.
MySafeRX delivers motivational interviewing and an adherence monitoring intervention to people with opioid use disorder receiving office-delivered buprenorphine treatment. The app includes functions for scheduling, video conferencing, text messaging, and transmitting access codes for the pill dispenser that manages buprenorphine access. Patients complete daily video calls with Mobile Recovery Coaches (MRCs) who address concerns, deliver the motivational intervention, provide daily access codes for the pill dispenser, and supervise user-administration of buprenorphine. Patients use the MySafeRx app to receive reminders for treatment adherence (e.g. weekly urine tests), message MRCs, schedule daily calls, and view pill dispenser access codes. MRCs use the MySafeRx app to message users, initiate video conference calls, release access codes, record daily adherence and substance use reports, and communicate with clinicians. MRC daily reports are color-coded by patient risk level (no concern, moderate concern, severe concern). Clinicians for each patient (e.g., prescriber, nurse, counselor) can view MRC daily reports and alerts from MRCs concerning their patients using a MySafeRx web interface.
