Pretaa Biometric Monitoring: Technology-Driven Patient Solutions
Innovative Personal Devices To Enhance Recovery Outcomes
Pioneering innovation in the addiction and recovery space, Pretaa is a device that tracks biometric data and leverages this heightened awareness into real-time treatment strategies and other wellness benefits. As this data is integrated with traditional, evidence-based interventions, providers get a clear picture of overall physical and mental health. We’re excited to bring our patients access to this new and innovative wearable device to enhance the treatment experience and improve patient outcomes.
What Is Pretaa?
Pretaa is a cutting-edge outcome-based wearable device and measurement tool designed by experts and industry professionals to address addiction challenges and enhance substance use disorder treatment. Blending real-time biometric data monitoring with evidence-based patient assessment practices, Pretaa devices generate a comprehensive, 360-degree view of the patient’s mind and body.
Fueled by tangible data, providers can efficiently and effectively elevate the standard of care, intervene when necessary to prevent relapse, and improve overall patient outcomes.[1]
Other wearable devices, like a Fitbit or Apple Watch, are already a pillar of wellness and modern healthcare. They track patterns in activity, sleep, heart rate, temperature, weight, hydration, stress, and more. Pretaa has taken this same concept and applied it to addiction treatment to create a more personalized and responsive approach to healing and recovery.
Evidence-Based Principles of Pretaa Biometric Monitoring
Collaborating With Traditional Treatment
Pretaa is not a replacement for traditional treatment but rather augments existing treatment modalities already being administered.
Making Treatment More Effective
With comprehensive, real-time insights gained from biometric data, providers and patients get immediate access to resources that make treatment less time-consuming and fully customized.
Active Relapse Prevention
Pretaa provides real-time alerts based on physical anomalies in biometric readings and patient-specific survey responses to alert clinicians of potential risks to initiate intervention.
Convenience Meets Treatment Immersion
Using the Pretaa device is as easy as wearing a watch, with a few simple steps, an easy-to-use app, and seamless integration options with other devices.
Pretaa Biometric Monitoring For Substance Abuse and Addiction
Pretaa acknowledges the human behind the disorder and captures a truly holistic view of all the symptoms and challenges unique to this experience. Studies show that the median attempts at recovery are at least 2, meaning most people who seek treatment do so at least twice, with the mean average coming in at more than 5.[2] Pretaa offers a new and innovative strategy to enhance the treatment experience and improve patient outcomes with customized interventions.
Wearable technology that monitors vital biometric data allows providers to tailor treatment interventions with laser precision based on physical markers, behavioral monitoring, habit tracking, and more.[3]
These insights offer valuable knowledge to providers and patients alike and reveal the true state of an individual’s overall well-being. Practically armed with tangible support, real-time resources, and life-changing hope, patients face each new day and each familiar obstacle with heightened awareness, hope, and courage.
Pretaa Biometric Monitoring Techniques
The techniques used to improve treatment outcomes fall into three primary categories:[4]
- Automated Reporting: The data collected from the Pretaa app is funneled into clinical software to enhance existing medical record data. Providers get a clear and comprehensive picture of each patient’s experience to help identify potential risks and offer more personalized treatment.
- Patient Surveys: Templated or custom patient surveys are taken on the device or app, and answers are used to gauge patients’ psychological and emotional well-being. Based on this data, clinicians can tailor treatment strategies to meet the holistic needs of each patient.
- Real-Time Alerts: With such timely and vital data available at their fingertips, clinicians can focus on the areas of greatest need when it matters most.
Rather than relying heavily on self-reported data or infrequent follow-ups, therapists and clinicians can accurately measure patient conditions and treatment outcomes to adjust future treatment strategies. The data also empowers patients as they have a unique opportunity to experience the real-time benefits of the overall recovery process.

How (and Why) Pretaa Biometric Monitoring Works
Changes in natural body function and habits, like sleep, hydration, heart rate, and activity, can be precursors to stress, anxiety, or relapse. By actively tracking this information, clinicians get access to targeted insights about the patient’s overall well-being.
Pretaa biometric monitoring tracks the following markers:[5]
- Heart Rate (HR)
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
- Skin Temperature
- SPO2
- Steps
- Sleep
No longer are treatment providers guessing based solely on self-reported data. With practical insights like these, patients benefit from custom strategies that match where they are today.
