Innovative Health Strategies LLC

We are a small but diverse group that brings together medical, engineering and business skills to create products that improve life. We are a think tank matching needs and opportunities with our collective abilities to real life solutions. We are currently directing our efforts toward reducing the increasing societal burden resulting from deaths due to opioid overdoses. The opioid use disorder has been designated as a worsening epidemic by the CDC with over 100,000 deaths in the USA alone due to opioid overdoses in 2021, and an approximate economic cost of over 500 billion dollars. Unfortunately, most overdoses are unintentional, may occur unwitnessed, and/or in the absence of antidote, and the rapid onset of cognitive dysfunction and unconsciousness that frequently accompany an overdose may render self-administration of antidote impossible, even if available. To address the question of how deaths due to opioid overdoses can be better prevented, we have designed a non-invasive, wearable, compact (4x3x3 cm) device that has the capacity to monitor, 911-report, and automatically treat opioid overdoses. Our system is fully described in a recent report (Hypoxia driven opioid targeted automated device for overdose rescue. Scientific Reports 11:24513, 2021).
