Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for opioid overdose prevention are described. The apparatus comprises a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to receive one or more measurements related to one or more vitals of a user, and cause, based on the one or more measurements, administration of a first dose of an overdose prevention medication to the user.
Claims15
A health monitoring device comprising:
- a band;
- one or more sensors;
- a stored overdose prevention medication;
- a plurality of microneedle patches;
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- receive, from the one or more sensors, one or more measurements related to one or more vitals of a user;
- perform, based on the one or more measurements, autonomous administration via injection of a first dose of the stored overdose prevention medication to the user by one or more microneedle patches of the plurality of microneedle patches, wherein the one or more vitals of the user are encrypted health data;
- and
- track information relating to the one or more microneedle patches for presentation, wherein the tracked information includes a current level of overdose prevention medication of each of the one or more microneedle patches after the autonomous administration;
- wherein at least one of the plurality of microneedle patches is removable and replaceable;
- wherein the one or more sensors and the plurality of microneedle patches are located on a side of the band;
- and
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to perform the autonomous administration via injection of the first dose of the stored overdose prevention medication to the user by:
- identifying a non-empty microneedle patch from the plurality of microneedle patches of the health monitoring device;
- and
- perform the autonomous administration, via the identified non-empty microneedle patch, of the first dose of the stored overdose prevention medication to the user.

A computing device comprising:
- a display device;
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- determine, based on received credentials, whether a user is a valid user by comparing the received credentials with stored credentials;
- in response to determination that the user is a valid user, generate a code to unlock a medication dispenser;
- cause the generated code to be displayed on the display device;
- transmit, to a server, one or more encrypted measurements related to one or more vitals of the user, wherein the stored credentials are associated with encrypted health data;
- receive, after a first dose of overdose prevention medication is caused to be administered to the user, a second measurement related to the one or more vitals of the user;
- cause, based on the second measurement and a corresponding threshold level of the one or more vitals, autonomous administration of a second dose of the overdose prevention medication to the user, wherein the second dose is caused to be autonomously administered from a different microneedle patch than the first dose;
- and
- track information relating to the different microneedle patch for presentation, wherein the tracked information includes a current level of overdose prevention medication of the different microneedle patch after the autonomous administration of the second dose.
