Hi would desperately love to get in touch with you to discuss application of data analytics to distribution and application of narcan to prevent ODs. It would involve an innovative combination of use of smartphone sensors to provide proximity location services to OD victims, as well as leverage the biometric data that most cell phones collect to join to existing data to determine solution @stopoddeaths.com
