Opioid overdose deaths often occur in silence, in the homes of our loved ones—after recovery programs, during relapse, or upon release from incarceration. Our system aims to break that silence with a real-time alert system that saves lives before it’s too late.
Our pilot initiative equips individuals at risk with a pulse oximeter device that continuously monitors oxygen and pulse levels. If levels drop below a safe threshold, an alert is automatically sent to a designated contact or caregiver. The program is designed for home use, especially in post-treatment or post-incarceration settings where the risk of relapse—and fatal overdose—is highest.
This pilot is not only a public health solution—it’s a fiscal one. Prevention costs less than tragedy.
SO2D-L.L.C. recognizes that individuals leaving detox programs or correctional institutions face a dramatically heightened risk of overdose. Returning to the same environment, often without support, increases the chance of relapse. Tragically, these relapses are frequently done in isolation, leading to unattended and fatal overdoses.
Shame and stigma can drive individuals to hide their relapse attempts, further compounding the risk. The downstream effects are immense: higher healthcare utilization, additional detox admissions, and long-term complications that weigh heavily on state and Medicaid budgets.
Our monitoring solution is designed to intervene before tragedy strikes—especially during this vulnerable reentry period. With SO2D's system in place, caregivers are notified instantly and can act fast to preserve life and reduce the burden on healthcare systems.
This video captures a heartbreaking, all-too-familiar story. A young person in recovery relapses while their family sleeps. By morning, it’s too late. This is the tragedy our technology seeks to prevent. No parent should wake to find their child lost to addiction. No life should end in silence when a simple alert could have made all the difference.
Why choose SO2D-L.L.C.? Because no other organization brings the lived experience, clinical expertise, and boots-on-the-ground innovation like we do.
Our founder and CEO is a service-disabled veteran and board-certified nurse practitioner who personally battled opioid use disorder after a severe spinal injury requiring multiple surgeries. The lived experience of becoming dependent on prescription opioids, navigating the painful realities of addiction and recovery, and enduring the stigma of being labeled an addict—even by healthcare providers—drives everything we do.
We understand the system from the inside out. From methadone and Suboxone treatment to medication-assisted recovery and counseling through motivational interviewing, we know what works—because we've lived it. That same lived experience guided our involvement in interdisciplinary public health projects, from Florida’s community outreach to prevent osteoporosis among vulnerable elderly residents, to global partnerships addressing care for migrant populations.
We didn’t just study health equity—we implemented it. And we’re ready to do it again with innovative overdose prevention that gives families a real chance to save their loved ones. Our mission is not theoretical. It’s personal, it's clinical, and it's urgent. This isn’t just a business. This is a lifeline. And we are ready to lead.
