How can we reduce the stigma, confusion, and risk faced by people who use drugs by designing a centralized and trustworthy platform that brings together real-time harm reduction resources, peer insights, and emergency support. Created in collaboration with a research team led by Doctor Paul J. Joudrey from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC).
Meet Ami, a digital platform that streamlines access to harm reduction services by consolidating real-time resources, peer-informed insights, and emergency support in one centralized App platform. Designed with and for people who use drugs, it empowers safer decision-making, reduces stigma in care-seeking, and strengthens community-driven support systems. Ami is proposed as a ‘toolkit’ for local Harm Reduction organizations and can be adapted and managed to suit the needs of different areas.
