Rescue Biomedical

Rescue Biomedical is a medical technology company developing an automated, closed-loop drug delivery system designed to prevent fatal opioid overdoses. The company's core technology consists of a wearable or implantable device that monitors physiological signals, such as blood oxygen levels and respiration, to detect signs of an overdose. Upon detection, the device automatically administers a life-saving dose of naloxone, bypassing the need for a bystander to intervene. Founded by researchers from Purdue University, the company aims to provide a safety net for individuals at high risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression. The system is designed to be particularly effective for those who use opioids alone, a high-risk scenario where traditional naloxone administration is impossible.
