Partnership Aims to Support Recovery and Reduce Overdose Risks with “R-Assist” Mobile Health App.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association (PRA), University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School (UMass Chan), and Meaningful Measurement, Inc (MMI) are proud to announce their collaboration on an innovative project aimed at supporting individuals living with addiction and mental health issues after their release from jail. Supported by a grant from NIH National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA), the project will develop and test “Reentry-Assist” (R-Assist), a mobile health app designed to provide essential recovery tools for this highly vulnerable population.

The R-Assist app will offer features such as daily symptom tracking, a comprehensive self-help curriculum, community resource mapping, and a progress dashboard to help individuals manage their recovery and reintegration into society. By leveraging the expertise of mental health professionals and individuals with lived experience, this app will provide 24/7 support during a critical transition period.

“We are excited about the potential of Reentry-Assist to fill a significant gap in care for people leaving the justice system,” said Steve Miccio, Chair of PRA Board of Directors. “These individuals face unique challenges, including an elevated risk of overdose and reincarceration, and our goal is to provide them with on-demand resources that can help prevent these outcomes and foster long-term recovery.”

Almost half of the individuals in the justice system who use opioids have co-occurring disorders (COD), and the period following release from jail presents a high risk of relapse, overdose, and recidivism. Currently, only a third of released individuals receive proper community treatment. Reentry-Assist aims to change this by offering a convenient, mobile-based solution that empowers users to take control of their recovery journey.

The app’s development is a joint effort between University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, Meaningful Measurement, and PRA, which brings specialized knowledge in psychiatric rehabilitation.

“Through Reentry-Assist, we are combining evidence-based reentry services with the power of modern technology to provide crucial support to those at their most vulnerable,” said David Smelson, Professor of Medicine at UMass Chan Medical School and developer of the MISSION Model intervention for co-occurring disorders, upon which the R-Assist app’s self-help curriculum and support features will be based. “This partnership represents a significant step forward in how we can improve outcomes for individuals transitioning from jail to the community.”

This project reflects the PRA, UMass Chan, and MMI’s shared commitment to addressing the challenges facing people with COD as they reenter society. Beyond supporting individuals, Reentry-Assist has the potential to reduce criminal justice costs and improve public safety.

TrendAI™ Adopts Claude Opus 5 to Advance Vulnerability Prioritization and Virtual Patching

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, TrendAI applies frontier reasoning to convert vulnerability intelligence into faster protection across hybrid environments

DALLAS, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader from Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), today announced it is adopting Claude Opus 5, Anthropic’s latest and most capable Opus model, to help security teams convert vulnerability intelligence into immediate protection, from prioritization to virtual patching. The move builds on TrendAI’s collaboration with Anthropic on Claude Opus 4.8, extending the same defensive focus to a model that delivers step-change gains in advanced reasoning, agentic workflows, and long-horizon analysis. As AI makes finding vulnerabilities easier than ever, the harder problem becomes protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and that is where TrendAI is putting Opus 5 to work.

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, which credentials organizations for the defensive use of frontier AI models, TrendAI is positioned to apply Claude Opus 5 to defensive security as access becomes available. The model is Zero Data Retention compatible, supporting TrendAI’s governance and data-protection requirements as it scales AI across security operations.

The work extends to TrendAI Threat Research, where frontier AI models are combined with our proprietary frontier intelligence engine and human expertise to generate pre-disclosure intelligence. Those insights power TrendAI Vision One™, delivering stronger detection, deeper forensic insights, and proactive protection through virtual patching.

Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™:
“With Claude Opus 5, TrendAI can move from vulnerability intelligence to action faster than ever, prioritizing what matters most by exploitability and business impact. Finding the vulnerability was always the hard part. Now the challenge is protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and frontier reasoning is what changes that equation, extending all the way to virtual patching that protects customers before a vendor fix ships. This is what it means to secure the AI age, fearlessly.”

These capabilities support TrendAI Vision One™ in helping security analysts, AppSec teams, and SOC teams prioritize exposure, map attack paths, and accelerate mitigation, including virtual patching, across hybrid environments, moving vulnerability management from a static scanning process into a faster, context-aware risk mitigation workflow.

About TrendAI™
TrendAI™, the global AI security leader and enterprise business unit of Trend Micro, empowers organizations with full AI visibility and consolidated security that inspires confidence, drives innovation, and eliminates risk. Trusted by the largest enterprises and governments across 185 countries, TrendAI™ secures the entire organization, from identities, to infrastructure, to data. Global Fortune 500 companies rely on TrendAI™ to cut risk and stop threats up to three months earlier, powered by world-leading threat and attack intelligence. Through deep ecosystem partnerships with market leaders like NVIDIA, Anthropic, AWS, Google, and Microsoft, TrendAI™ empowers your organization to securely drive forward at the speed of AI. AI Fearlessly. Learn more: trendaisecurity.com
