Previct® Care – support for controlling alcohol use and maintaining work ability

Why choose Previct Care? Clear benefits for your business.

• Fewer absences, more productivity: Real-time monitoring and preventive support help to reduce sickness-related absences and maintain the employee's productivity during the treatment period.
• Improved occupational safety: Ensure that the employee is sober and able to work, and significantly reduce the risk of occupational accidents related to substance abuse. This is vital, especially in safety-critical industries and traffic safety.
• Cost savings: Avoid expensive rehabilitation periods and the costs of traditional treatment, such as continuous occupational health care visits just for breathalyser tests.
• Retain valuable competence: Provide the employee with an effective and motivating tool for change. This helps to retain a valuable professional and their competence in the company.
• Flexible and discreet: The employee can carry out the monitoring independently and discreetly as part of their everyday life, regardless of where they are. This reduces the stigma and logistical challenges associated with the treatment.

How does Previct Care work?

The service is designed to be easy to use and effective:

1. Scheduled tests: The employee blows into the wireless breathalyser according to a schedule that is agreed on in advance.
2. Real-time result: The result is immediately transferred via the mobile app to the treatment platform, where the substance abuse nurse monitors the situation.
3. Immediate information: If agreed, the employer or supervisor will also be notified if the test was not performed according to schedule or if the result indicates alcohol use.
4. Professional support: The substance abuse nurse supports the employee throughout the process, offering help and support for working towards change.

Previct is an effective solution for a wide range of situations:

• Maintaining and restoring work ability: Replaces in-person breathalyser test appointments and supports the employee during and after a referral to treatment.
• Preventive support: For people with an increased risk of alcohol use disorder, such as people who travel a lot or work independently as specialists.
• Occupational and traffic safety: For industries where absolute zero tolerance is required, such as logistics, maritime transport and aviation.
• Driving licence monitoring: A reliable way of assessing a person's driving capacity.

Flexible and effective support for substance abuse treatment

Previct Care modernises support for substance abuse treatment and offers clear advantages when compared to the traditional operating models:

• Continuous support and immediate information: Previct offers 24/7 support and monitoring, unlike traditional treatment, which is tied to clinic opening hours.
• Flexibility and cost efficiency: The breathalyser tests can be carried out wherever and whenever you want, without the need for separate, time-consuming and expensive occupational health care visits. This saves both time and money.
• Get a more accurate picture faster: Regular breathalyser tests provide a more accurate picture of the employee’s situation much faster than slow PEth laboratory tests performed every 2-4 weeks. This enables a quick response to any relapses.
• Location-independent and temporary solution: Unlike a vehicle-bound alcolock that comes with a permanent cost, Previct is a flexible and fixed-term solution that is not dependent on a specific vehicle or location.
