Project overview

In-Time Naloxone study is investigating the movement of Naloxone for the emergency treatment of opioid overdoses in the South Hampshire area. Using coroner’s report data from 136 incidents, TRG is modelling possible response mechanisms (including using drones, food delivery riders, and medical community first responders) to identify the expected change in patient outcomes.

The wider research project, e-Drone, is also consulting with key stakeholders and operators to understand the scope for drone adoption and any changes that would be required.
