The app
The iOS app will be able to be used by clinicians to effectively monitor those undergoing opioid withdrawal, and monitor sobriety through their physiological effects. The final app takes in not only subjective data about the patient, but also physiological data from the Fitbit and a pupil size app. Once all the necessary information is entered, the app outputs a final COWS score indicating where how the clinician should proceed. The app is user-friendly, not reliant on Wi-Fi, objective, rapid, and reproducible.
