About the Program
Revive Drones is a life-saving emergency drone delivery system designed to respond to opioid overdoses with Narcan deployment in real time. By texting a simple shortcode, witnesses or first responders can summon a drone to deliver the antidote within minutes. Drones can be autonomous and/or manned, depending on event.
Shortcode Activation
Users text REVIVE to "738483" — triggering immediate dispatch of a Narcan-equipped drone to the location. Drones can hover to assist as needed.
Future payloads will include EpiPens, insulin, and AEDs for rapid crisis response.
Why It Matters
The opioid crisis continues to claim over 100,000 lives annually in the U.S. alone. Rural, underserved, and tribal communities are hit hardest — where emergency services are often 10–20 minutes away. Revive Drones brings that response time down to under 3 minutes.
This isn't just tech — it's a frontline intervention. Every minute saved in an overdose can be the difference between life and death.
How It Works
- User texts REVIVE to shortcode
- Location is GPS-tracked via device ping
- Nearest drone is dispatched from Nightingale enclosure
- Drone arrives, hovers, and drops Narcan with visual/audio prompts
- First responders are auto-alerted if overdose is confirmed
