Abstract
A mobile application designed to operate on a mobile device. The user, through a user interface, inputs the drug being taken, and activates a start input. This begins a timer that runs down from a predetermined amount of time. If the user does not activate a stop input before the timer runs out of time, an alert is generated. This alert may be displayed on the user interface. In addition, emergency personnel are contacted. Information regarding the user, the drug taken, and the location of the mobile device may be transmitted to the emergency personnel so that medical assistance may be provided.
