When you’re in personal pain, it can feel as though you’re locked inside yourself. I’ve been there. We’ve all seen or felt it firsthand. We understand.
Time after time, I’ve seen intuition save a life. A mother calls, a friend checks in, a partner senses. They know us so well they have a feeling when we need help. Their intuition changed our course. We started Triggr Health to bring that predictive and proactive support to everyone.
We’ve created a way to use data to replicate the ability to identify patterns and provide timely care to people in recovery. Over the past two years, we’ve worked with thousands of people at all levels of substance dependency. We’ve scaled intuition.
Addiction is not a moral failing; it is a disease that does not discriminate. It’s one of the most misunderstood and complex health conditions in the world, yet current treatment pathways are insufficient for most.
It is ridiculous to think that it is a one-size-fits-all model when in fact, it takes a personalized, comprehensive system of care to produce meaningful results.
We’ve learned that when you utilize highly predictive data to deliver the right support in combination with the right therapy and in some cases the right medication, more than just a handful of people succeed.
Do we have all the answers? No, but we’re determined to ask the questions, learn from the data, and uncover the way to turn the intuition and support that saved my life into an option for everyone.
By day we're engineers, data scientists, product leaders, and medical experts. We each understand what that often indescribable pain can feel like.
