Opioid Halo

Getting Started

Getting to Know Opioid Halo

 

Opioid Halo is an Opioid Overdose Prevention and Alert System* that provides real-time monitoring to identify risk of accidental overdose - slowed or stopped breathing.

Escalating alerts are sent to your loved ones and their designated emergency contacts, followed by a wellness call that may lead to EMS being dispatched.

The system includes a Home Medical Hub, two disposable fingertip sensors (each intended for up to 96 hours of continuous use), a reusable chip, and a free downloadable app for your smartphone.

Alerts When Help May Be Needed

 

Opioid Halo detects high or increasing risk of overdose and sends escalating alerts when help is needed.

 

Monitoring is active

 

Alert 1: Caution

When physiological marker data shows high risk for overdose, alerts appear visually on the user’s mobile device and audibly at the Home Medical Hub, to facilitate self recovery.

 

Alert 2: Warning

As the risk level rises, the system alerts the user and sends automatic texts to you and other designated emergency contacts.

 

Alert 3: Emergency

If the risk level continues to worsen, the system triggers an automated wellness call that may lead to EMS being dispatched.
