LIFEGUARD APP

The Lifeguard App can prevent toxic drug death. Ninety per cent of deaths happen when people use substances alone. The Lifeguard app is a digital tool that connects emergency responders automatically to people who are alone and may have unintentionally overdosed. The app is especially helpful if you live in an urban area, have a smartphone, and have access to cellular service or wifi. The app will probably not be as useful in rural and remote areas as emergency responders can take longer to arrive due to the greater distances that they need to travel.
