Why InterAct

The Problem

Over 100,000 people die from overdose each year, more than in the entire Vietnam and Gulf Wars combined with Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, present in 80% of the overdose deaths. Fentanyl is deadly, 50 times more potent than heroin, hard to detect and present in almost every illegal street drug.

Millions Need Treatment

The Opioid Crisis fueled an addiction pandemic that has impacted millions of Americans who now need access to treatment.

Relapse Rates are High

Relapse rates can be as high as 75% in the months following treatment because individuals don't have the structure and support they need.

A Chronic Disease

Addiction is a brain disorder that must be managed over one’s lifetime. It cannot be “cured” with 30 days of rehab treatment.

Adolescents Are at Risk

1 in 10 adolescents will develop addiction before they leave high school. The disease rewires their brain before it has time to fully develop making addiction harder to treat.

The Solution

InterAct automates how programs educate and serve their audiences, provides individuals with structure, access to communities, accountability, education, and leverages data from smart watches and wearables to detect overdose, alert others and send help.

Our solution offers efficient ways to keep people connected to education and support and use data from wearables to detect and prevent overdose deaths.
