Remotely Observed Methadone Evaluation (ROME)

December 30, 2023 updated by: Michael Giles, Sonara Health

Remotely Observed Methadone Evaluation (ROME)

Opioid addiction, which affects 16 million individuals worldwide, can be treated using methadone, a proven and effective opioid medication for treating OUD that extends retention in care, reduces mortality, and inhibits illicit drug use. However, methadone treatment is limited to federally certified Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs), which must meet complex regulatory requirements, and require new patients to take their dose in person six days per week, presenting significant barriers to treatment. To address these barriers, Sonara Heath has developed the Sonara software platform, which will enable OTPs to offer accelerated take-home methadone regimens while maintaining safety and diversion prevention.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
System Usability Scale (SUS)
Time Frame: two weeks
The SUS, a 10-item scale with each item rated on a 5-point scale (scored 0 to 4) with five negative statements (e.g., system is unnecessarily complex) (reverse scored) and five positive statements (e.g., system functions are well integrated), evaluated user perceptions of the system's usability. We summed scores and multiplied them by 2.5 for the total score with a range from 0 to 100 (Lewis, 2018).
two weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Acceptability, Appropriateness and Feasibility of Implementation Measures
Time Frame: two weeks
Acceptability Intervention Measure (AIM), Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM), and Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) are single factor 4-item scales scored 1 to 5 and summed with test-retest reliabilities of 0.73 to 0.88 (Weiner et al., 2017). Scores for each of the three dimensions have a potential range of 4 to 20 with higher scores suggesting better implementation potential.
