Previously, axialHealthcare was largely focused on using its analytics for early prevention and risk mitigation. While it will continue to pursue those goals, axialHealthcare will also put new focus on helping people already struggling with opioid use disorder. 

“This funding will support the market launch of an end-to-end platform that offers personalized solutions from risk to recovery, with a new emphasis on connecting and aligning what is a fractured ecosystem for recovery,” axialHealthcare CEO Carter Paine said in the press release. “In collaboration with our client partners, we are devoted to finding a better way to support patients and families struggling with the complexities of SUD.”

As part of axialHealthcare’s treatment push, it will combine “high-tech” with “high-touch,” using technology, treatment professionals and peer recovery specialists to help those with OUD.
