Business Challenge
Triggr Health aimed to bring a sense of “parental intuition” to victims of substance abuse. For individuals battling issues with mental health and addiction who are contemplating suicide, communication and outreach from others who detect a problem can ultimately save lives.
Analytics Solution
Triggr Health created a predictive analytics app that uses an individual’s phone behavior to determine when a person is likely to relapse. Triggr knows a person’s normal habits, looks for behavior that might be out of the ordinary—such as a change in location, sleep patterns, and even how much an individual is texting or playing Words With Friends. The company can proactively reach out to provide support.
Impact
Triggr’s use of predictive analytics, combined with the ability to 24/7 proactively connect with people struggling with recovery, is three times more effective than traditional treatment models. What Triggr can predict and build from a care model perspective is exponentially more effective than traditional treatment. Triggr has worked with more than 100 providers across the country, making its app available to thousands of people dealing with addiction.
