Abstract

In a Philadelphia neighborhood where opioid overdoses are frequent, neighbors used a smartphone app to request and give help for victims of suspected overdose. A one-year study demonstrated the feasibility of this approach, which empowered the local community to save lives and even respond to overdoses faster than emergency medical services.
