iSOS, the implantable device, autonomously administers naloxone within minutes if an overdose is detected, without requiring a bystander to administer the medicine.
Inspired by the administration of this medicine, scientists have developed an implantable device that can independently detect overdose and automatically administer naloxone. This could be especially beneficial during an emergency when doctors or nurses are swamped or paramedics may not make it on time to the individual who has overdosed on drugs.
The implantable device has yet to be tested on humans. However, animal testing on pigs witnessed 24 revivals out of 25 within 3.2 minutes. He says addressing patient adherence and willingness to adopt new technology, minimizing false positive detections, and ensuring the rapid delivery of antidotes are among them.
