Janus
Janus is a market-leading incentive management platform trusted by healthcare organizations to securely design, configure, implement, and manage their Contingency Management programs with precision and ease.
Powered by CMI’s patent-pending CM engine, Janus offers flexible configuration options to handle diverse budgets, reinforcement schedules, and a wide range of targeted behaviors, complete with customizable reset ladders to maintain engagement and program fidelity.
The platform features an intuitive clinician dashboard and open APIs for seamless integration with EHRs and third-party systems, while its mobile app enables instant, in-app reward delivery to participants, supporting real-time motivation.
Named after the Roman god of beginnings, endings, and transitions, Janus embodies progress and transformation—symbolizing the journey from past challenges to future success, much like the month of January that bears his name.
SIMS
(State Incentive Management System)
The State Incentive Management System (SIMS) is a purpose-built platform designed for public health agencies to manage Contingency Management (CM) programs at scale with security, fidelity, and ease.
For Departments of Health (State, County, City, etc.):
SIMS enables centralized and secure administration of CM programs across multiple sites, tailored to exact reinforcement protocols and incentive schedules. With built-in security safeguards and real-time analytics, SIMS offers comprehensive reporting on key performance indicators to ensure transparency, accountability, and measurable success.
For Providers:
This platform gives healthcare organizations a turnkey solution that’s easy to implement and intuitive for staff to use. Providers benefit from clear visibility into participant progress, allowing for localized engagement and responsive care.
For Patients/Beneficiaries:
SIMS creates a streamlined, real-time experience that helps participants stay engaged and motivated, whether accessed via mobile app or delivered through in-person workflows. The platform is designed to increase success rates by making reinforcement timely, transparent, and rewarding.
NALCAM is a mobile app designed to increase daily naloxone carriage and save lives. The app trains individuals on how to properly use naloxone, then applies Contingency Management principles by offering daily incentives over a set period to help build the life-saving habit of carrying it consistently.
Although 40% of opioid overdoses are witnessed in time for naloxone to be effective, research shows that only 9% of people who inject drugs regularly carry it. The World Health Organization sets a 90% carriage target for those trained and equipped with naloxone. NALCAM helps communities and public health organizations close that gap and move closer to meeting this critical goal.
IMP
(Incentive Manager Plug-in)
The Incentive Manager Plug-in (IMP) is a powerful, flexible API solution that allows organizations to seamlessly and securely integrate Contingency Management features into their existing applications. It enables real-time calculation and delivery of incentives based on custom reinforcement schedules, including support for escalation and reset ladders, without the need to build a system from scratch.
IMP supports multiple validation methods to confirm targeted behaviors and offers various delivery options to ensure rewards are both timely and accessible. Built-in fraud prevention tools and advanced security controls help safeguard against misuse, while a robust reporting suite provides transparency and performance insights.
Additionally, IMP includes a patent-pending, AI-powered contextual agent that offers personalized coaching to participants, enhancing engagement and helping them navigate each step of their CM journey.
Comparison Between a Traditional Contingency Management Program and CMI Solutions
Component | Traditional CRM | CMI Solutions | |
Ease of initial CM program setup and time from reinforcement design to go-live | Not easy- needs staff training, accounting set up, gift cards purchased, distribution of rewards requires close management, reporting set up and substantial management oversight required | Easy - no/very little staff training needed - process and protocols are automated including rewards calculation, delivery, and management, full reporting functions for management, auditing, and oversight | |
Fidelity to evidence-based protocols, and best practice | Questionable - especially across multiple sites | Very strong – scalable solution for consistency and integrity | |
Patient understanding of future rewards and coaching for success | Moderate-trained staff needed | Extensive - automated with information available at all times; no staff required | |
Security | Weak | Inherent, Proactive, HIPAA-compliant | |
Entry of UDT results data | Manual - burdensome; trained staff required; open to errors | Easily automated with API integration - no staff required; error free | |
Entry of Attendance data | Manual - burdensome; trained staff required; open to errors | Easily automated with API integration - no staff required; error free | |
Speed to issue reward after event | Latent process availability and staff dependent | Automated and instantaneous with real-time information | |
Flexibility to dynamically adjust reinforcement schedules | Difficult - requiring process change and staff training | Easy change of CM engine - instantly updated across the program with real-time information | |
Reporting | Labor intensive - limited | Automatic, real-time, comprehensive, and configurable | |
Managing reset ladders | Difficult staff training needed; error prone | Easy - automatically calculated; no staff required; error free | |
Patient's understanding of reason for rewards | Moderate staff training required | Very Clear - no staff needed; automated and instant messaging | |
Stockholding of rewards ready for distribution | Burdensome - trained staff required, open to errors | Easy automated; no staff required, fully auditable with reporting | |
Distribution of rewards | Burdensome trained staff required, open to errors | Easy - instantaneous, automated; no staff required; error free | |
Reminders of appt and opportunity to earn rewards | Manual process requiring staff | Yes - automated; no staff required; error free | |
