The Brave Overdose Detection System combines technology, human support, and real insights to deliver connection, support, and impact.
A smartphone application that connects people using drugs alone with remote supervision and anonymous overdose support.
A comprehensive support and resource system for harm reduction service providers to deliver 24/7 virtual caring connection wherever and whenever people use drugs.
An engagement and reporting system that proves the impact of public health funding without compromising people’s privacy.
Supervised consumption works. It’s proven to significantly reduce overdose fatalities in practicing areas. But communities in North America have struggled to get life-saving supervised consumption sites sanctioned and approved by the public.
The Brave Overdose Detection System makes virtual supervised consumption accessible to everyone, especially those most at risk.
The Brave Overdose Detection System empowers service providers and public health funders with the data they need to understand what’s happening in their communities. The platform delivers access to real-time and historical reports that reveal quantitative and qualitative insights about local trends.
“This app is evidence that there are innovative and respectful ways to keep the people that we love safe while using drugs.”
“Why isn’t this everywhere? This needs to be everywhere.”
“This app is amazing, if for no other reason because it saves lives. But also because it promotes community members to be involved in supporting their own community by meeting people where they're at!”
For Overdose Detection tools to be effective, they must be tailored to the needs of those most at risk of overdose.
Thousands of people who use drugs (PWUD), along with dozens of organisations striving to solve the opioid overdose crisis, have co-designed The Brave App.
