The survival rate for head and neck squamous cell carcinomas has not improved in more than four decades, and new approaches to treat these cancers are needed. These tumors present along the mucosal linings of the head and neck and are notably heterogeneous in regards to their prognosis and response to therapy. Unlike advances in other adult cancers, there are no predictive biomarkers to indicate the best treatment options for head and neck cancer patients.

The overall goal of this Fast-Track SBIR project is to evaluate the real-world adoption of KIOS, a patient-centered digital therapeutic / mobile app to assist in the effective self-management of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Previous work demonstrated that KIOS could chart the trajectories of patients with OUD by tracking concurrent changes in multiple clinical measures as they interact. KIOS makes it possible to process patient-entered data and provide responsive behavioral advice to patients specific to their condition in real time.
