The Helios Alliance has developed a groundbreaking simulation platform that uniquely integrates System Dynamics modeling with AI analytics to be used in opioid abatement planning. The Opioid Abatement Model is a simplified version of the real world that can evaluate various policies, judge their likely success or failure, and provide a clear idea of what will be necessary to abate the opioid epidemic.

Helios will model potential evidence-based policy interventions along the continuum of care, from prevention to treatment to sustained recovery, which will allow leaders to make the most informed choices for their communities, depending on available resources. The broader simulation platform will allow stakeholders to make key decisions on policy making, resource allocation, and intervention strategies.

What differentiates the Helios approach is the degree of policy analysis we can provide our clients; because of the nature of a system dynamics model, our team can do more than just report on outcomes as they happen – we can predict the likely success or failure of programs before they begin to spend money. Additionally, we can provide the same level of analytic rigor to assessing the impact of existing programs, as well as identifying gaps in their existing programming that may be affecting their results.

We go beyond reporting on results to predict them.
