Opioid overdose deaths are ~80,000 a year in the US. Many overdose patients are found alone and unconscious, unable to use existing antidote sprays and injectors solutions. Antidote administration is delayed until EMS arrives and such delay leads to a multitude of problems, including hypoxemia, brain damage, intensive care, and high healthcare costs.
Revolutionizing opioid overdose detection and treatment
Discrete. Comprehensive. Automatic.
A2D2 reverses opioid overdoses automatically.
Rescue Biomedical’s Automatic Antidote Delivery Device (A2D2) is a closed-loop emergency drug delivery system designed to automatically detect and treat opioid overdoses through a multi-modal system.
Our innovative solution consists of a discreet wearable detection device, resembling a smartwatch, and a subcutaneous drug delivery capsule containing the life-saving antidote, naloxone. To ensure minimal intrusion, the capsule is implanted through a quick outpatient procedure, discreetly positioned beneath the skin.
a2d2 Allows for timely administration of naloxone, increasing chances of survival and reduced risk of long-term effects
Reduction in intensive treatment
Immediate administration of naloxone minimizes the chances of brain hypoxia, reducing the risk of lasting neurological damage.
Decrease in hospitalization days
Early intervention minimizes the need for complex medical procedures by reducing damages caused by an overdose, allowing patients to recover faster.
Saving in treatment costs
Economic burden on patients and the healthcare ecosystem will decrease significantly as lengthy, costly hospital stays are prevented.
