Our Technology
Innovation That Supports Recovery
At Pathfinder Recovery, technology isn’t a replacement for care. It’s a way to make care stronger, more individualized, and, ultimately, more effective.
As one of the only fully virtual recovery providers using smart technology and biometrics for substance use disorder and mental health treatment, we are pioneering a new model of support that helps clients feel connected every day – not just during appointments or the variety of touchpoints we prioritize throughout the week.
Why Smart Technology Matters
Smart technology gives us insight into parts of recovery that often go unseen, helping us care for both body and mind.
Your body stores years of stress, trauma, and negative experiences before your mind can even take notice. All of these triggers build and remain in the body, which is exactly why biometric patterns such as sleep challenges or disturbances, heart rate variability (HRV), or other hidden stress responses can reveal underlying warning signs.
Sleep
Sleep is the single biggest predictor of relapse – when sleep is disrupted, risk of setback rises.
HRV (heart rate variability)
HRV (heart rate variability) is one of the most reliable indicators of stress, anxiety, and depression. Tracking HRV allows us to recognize physiological and psychological strain early and adjust support before it escalates.
Activity patterns
Activity patterns are critical. 30 mins of moderate physical activity multiple times a week can be as impactful as an antidepressant and can heal the brain faster.
By pairing biometrics with individualized care, we deliver the right intervention at the right time in nearly real time to reduce relapse risk and help clients move forward with confidence.
The Pathfinder Recovery App
Our app is at the center of our virtual care model. It’s more than a tool – it’s a community and a constant source of support. Consider it an ever-present recovery companion, right there in your pocket.
Daily Engagement
Mood journaling, gratitude practices, and guided surveys keep clients connected to their current and evolving goals.
Community Connection
A safe space to share milestones, celebrate progress, and encourage others who are just starting out. Service work and giving back can be powerful tools for one’s own recovery journey!
Holistic Resources
Access sound baths, yoga, breathwork, relevant TED Talks, and more – resources that nurture body, mind, and spirit.
12-Step Recovery, 24/7
Explore fellowship resources and join Zoom meetings available every hour of every day. If you prefer in-person meetings or different fellowships, the schedules can be found there in our app too!
Positive Reinforcement
Built-in rewards and feedback encourage long-term engagement, leading to lasting change.
Detox Support Tools
For clients in our withdrawal management program, the app includes a specialized survey that makes it easier to track symptoms and receive timely, supportive care.
Ongoing Engagement Insights
The app helps our team notice when you might be struggling, so we can reach out early, before a minor emotional slip becomes a fall.
The Pathfinder Smart Ring
Working hand-in-hand with the app, the Pathfinder Smart Ring provides deeper insight into how the body is responding to recovery. By monitoring activity, sleep, HRV, and more, the ring empowers both users and providers with real-time information that complements self-reporting.
- Predictive Power: Shifts in sleep or HRV often appear days before cravings or setbacks, giving our team the ability to intervene earlier.
- Integration With Care Plans: Data from the ring actively informs treatment adjustments, making recovery more responsive and individualized.
- Client Empowerment: Clients can view their own health trends, building awareness of how lifestyle choices affect recovery and helping them take ownership of progress.
- Research-Backed Insight: Biometrics are increasingly recognized in behavioral health research as vital tools for understanding stress and trauma. Pathfinder is bringing these science-backed tools into everyday care.
- Visible Progress: Even small wins, like improved sleep routines or more daily movement, show up in the ring’s data, helping clients see and celebrate their growth in real time.
This data doesn’t just sit in a chart, either – it’s integrated into a holistic, individualized care plan. Our clinical team uses it to better understand each client’s needs and to provide proactive, personalized support.
