Implantable device responds to opioid OD - Harvard Gazette
Briefly

Naloxone is life-saving but frequently may not be delivered in time. The iSOS device provides a highly innovative strategy to provide detection of opioid overdose, allowing for precise administration of naloxone at the moment it is needed, hopefully saving individuals from overdose and facilitating continued recovery from opioid use disorder.
To combat the high mortality associated with opioid overdoses, our fully implantable iSOS could serve as a pivotal next-generation antidote platform.
In overdose cases where there is a bystander nearby, that individual can be rescued through either intramuscular or intranasal administration of naloxone, but you need that bystander. We wanted to find a way for this to be done in an autonomous fashion.
