Ratings and Reviews
Could be improved
A GPS feature that pings registered trained Naloxone administrators and alerts them of an “unresponsive person” and their location may be beneficial. A certification number system can be used to verify whether the person has received training. Same concept for flash flood warnings on cell phones or Amber Alerts. Similar designs by apps including Waze allow drivers to plug locations of police checkpoints or a police radar on the highway for vehicles behind them. Same concept.
Also, a network where people who use can coordinate and do so in a safe environment may be beneficial. Must make sure that there cannot be any entrapment.
Also, Good Samaritan law should automatically disqualify those who may not be granted immunity due to criminal backgrounds from registering as administrators of Naloxone.
