Are Treatment Services Ready for the Use of Big Data Analytics and AI in Managing Opioid Use Disorder? by Matthew Amer, Rosalind Gittins, Antonio Martinez Millana, Florian Scheibein, Marica Ferri, Babak Tofighi, Frank Sullivan, Margaret Handley, Monty Ghosh, Alexander Baldacchino, Joseph Tay Wee Teck

“… In this viewpoint, we explore the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) and discuss important challenges to their ethical, effective, and equitable use within opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment settings. Applying our collective experiences as OUD policy and treatment experts, we discuss 8 key challenges that OUD treatment services must contend with to make the most of these rapidly evolving technologies: data and algorithmic transparency, clinical validation, new practitioner-technology interfaces, capturing data relevant to improving patient care, understanding and responding to algorithmic outputs, obtaining informed patient consent, navigating mistrust, and addressing digital exclusion and bias. …”
