What happens during an overdose?
The signs are easy to miss. The damage can be irreversible.
When someone overdoses—particularly from opioids—every moment becomes a battle for survival. The body doesn’t shut down all at once. It declines. And with the right tools in place, there’s a chance to intervene before it’s too late.
At Reassurance Solutions, we built our contactless monitoring technology to recognize the warning signs before they become irreversible damage. Here's why that matters:
0–1 Minutes:
Opioids bind to receptors in the brain that regulate pain and respiration.
Breathing begins to slow, sometimes without anyone noticing.
The person may appear tired, nodding off, or just “resting.”
2–3 Minutes:
Oxygen levels drop. The brain and heart start suffering from hypoxia (oxygen deprivation).
Pupils constrict. Skin may pale or turn bluish—especially lips or fingertips.
If no one is watching, the signs go unseen.
4–5 Minutes:
Breathing may stop entirely (respiratory arrest).
Heart rate slows dangerously.
Brain damage begins. Irreversible outcomes start setting in.
6+ Minutes:
Without intervention—like naloxone, CPR, or emergency medical care—death is highly likely.
Even if the person is revived, the damage may be permanent.
But here’s the truth: This doesn’t have to end in tragedy.
Our XK300 contactless monitoring system doesn’t wait for someone to be found. It continuously watches over breathing patterns, heart rate, and micro-movements—and sends instant alerts when something goes wrong.
Whether in a correctional facility, a rehabilitation center, or any high-risk environment, early intervention is the key to saving lives.
Let’s bring awareness and solutions to the overdose crisis.
