MIDDLETOWN, CT—PursueCare, a virtual addiction treatment provider, announced today that it has been awarded the prestigious “Rising Star” award for Mental and Behavioral Health by the Digital Health Hub Foundation at this year’s HLTH USA conference in Las Vegas.
The Digital Health Hub Foundation is a global community of health tech accelerators dedicated to supporting the growth and scalability of the world’s most innovative healthcare companies. With a network of more than 30,000 members, including early- to late-stage healthcare organizations, industry providers, payors, experts, mentors, investors, clinicians, and researchers, the foundation fosters collaboration and advancement in healthcare innovation.
“Congratulations to our dedicated team for this recognition of their tremendous efforts in advancing innovation for chronic substance use disorder and delivering life-saving treatment to thousands,” said Nick Mercadante, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of PursueCare. “This award further validates the importance of our work, yet much remains to be done. Every day, hundreds of Americans lose their lives to overdose, and tens of millions continue to battle this chronic condition. Our mission is far from over.”
PursueCare recently introduced RESET® and RESET-O®, the only FDA-authorized digital therapeutics for substance use disorder (SUD) and opioid use disorder (OUD). These innovative solutions provide patients with 24/7 support through digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) modules, contingency management rewards, and measurement-based assessments. Care is delivered via telehealth in PursueCare’s proprietary smart phone apps, empowering patients to manage their recovery from anywhere, at any time.
“We are excited to be considered among a prestigious list of digital health startups. Uniquely, we offer the only FDA-authorized therapeutics which help reach patients in rural, remote, and underserved communities, where people face barriers to care,” further commented Mercadante. PursueCare offers comprehensive services through a multi-disciplinary care team, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT), behavioral counseling and therapy, psychiatry, case management, and pharmacy services.
