The National Institute of Health reports more than 115 people in the U.S. die every day, or someone every 11 minutes, after overdosing on opioids. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the total economic burden of prescription opioid misuse alone in the U.S. is $78.5 billion a year. ScripGuard is designed to compel patient compliance with prescription opioid medication use and minimize opioid overdose or misuse.
ScripGuard is intended to proactively address the opioid crisis in the United States, and ultimately, worldwide. The device is designed to compel patient compliance with prescription opioid medication use. It will also minimize unauthorized medication use by non-patients. ScripGuard will be ordered by a physician, filled and locked by the pharmacist, and only allow a single medication dosage to be accessible to the patient at the required time. The patient will be required to return the device with unused medication to the pharmacy for proper disposal. The device will be reusable and tampering or misuse of the device can be reported to the physician.
