This article was originally published on PR Newswire
Sonara Health has been granted a U.S. patent for creating a tamper-evident label that facilitates the safe consumption of methadone at home to treat opioid use disorder and fight America's opioid crisis.
Sonara Health's remote medication monitoring system includes a tamper-evident label, a patient-facing web application to guide the patient's daily consumption of methadone at home, and a clinician-facing web application to remotely, asynchronously, observe patients dosing. The Sonara remote medication monitoring system helps eliminate the need for patients to visit a clinic every day, which is often a barrier for people who live far away from clinics or who have jobs and family obligations.
Methadone is among the most effective medications approved by the FDA to treat opioid use disorder.
