Prevent Substance Misuse & Overdose Deaths
The technology solution designed to reduce overdose deaths by raising awareness of the fentanyl risk, connecting individuals to support and prevention strategies, and using wearables combined with the mobile app to detect overdose, alert others and send help.
Startling Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC.gov)
More than 217,000 Americans died from overdoses related to synthetic opioids from 1999-2020
Carfentanil, the most potent fentanyl analog in the U.S., is estimated to be 10,000 times more potent than morphine
The rate of overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids was more than 18 times higher in 2020 than in 2013
Synthetic opioid-involved death rates increased by over 56% from 2019 to 2020 and accounted for over 82% of all opioid-involved deaths in 2020
In 2020, more than 56,000 deaths involving synthetic opioids (other than methadone) occurred in the United States, which is more deaths than from any other type of opioid
Overdose deaths remain a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States.
