Opioid Mobile Clinic
Project Vida is targeted at providing healthcare services in the border cities & rural areas along the US-Mexico border to patients suffering from opioid addiction.
● They operate through ground staff going into the communities and reaching out to the people who need the support. Each patient is registered using a form and the data is then stored in a database.
● The next phase of the project involves developing a GIS based tool to identify hotspots for addiction and their types in the community.
● Once the hotspots are identified, it will be possible to link the patients registered on the project vida application with other social services that they are in need of and are eligible for .eg: housing, food etc.
● Project Vida has about 30+ ground staff called peers who have started using the app to collect the data and store directly in the database
● Analytics have allowed the administrators to identify patterns in the behavior of service utilization of the patients who fall back into addiction compared to the ones who came out of it.
