NORA

The Solution

NORA - No One Recovers Alone

With health and research from the team at Highmark Health, iii students partnered with Highmark to create a platform that connects the dots between patients, providers, and supporting cast members that aide in recovery. No One Recovers Alone (NORA) puts the patient's recovery process in an integrated solution that leverages people.

NORA pairs each recovering addict with a Champion -- a social worker, engaged love one, or someone well versed themselves in the drug recovery process -- to provide emotional support and guidance along the path to recovery. Most importantly, NORA empowers patients to take control of their recovery journey.
