Every day more than 130 Americans die from opioid overdoses . Most are people who were prescribed opioids and then fell into heroin addiction. The most common cause of death? Contaminated drugs.
In partnership with the Washington Heights Corner Project, New York’s leading harm reduction organization, we developed a reagent patch that is applied inside syringes to detect contaminants. The patch changes color when it comes in contact with a dangerous adulterant, turning the very object that was delivering death by overdose into a life-saving device.
