Company Summary

Drug abuse and addiction - for both prescription painkillers and illicit substances - is a major public healthcare crisis. Sakti combines traditional diagnostic testing with proprietary software, algorithms and databases to provide physicians treating these patients with better clinical decision support, and provide payors/insurers with an outcome driven program providing better value for money spent on addiction prevention and treatment.
