A mobile app to help prevent fatal overdoses in your community.
The Brave App can be used by anyone, anywhere. It’s also available as a community-wide solution to address the opioid overdose crisis in your local area. You can license a customized or private-labeled version of the app, build a volunteer network of local community members, and provide immediate connection for people who use drugs (PWUD) in your area.
By the community for the community
Connect people who use drugs alone with caring supporters who can activate life-saving community and emergency response.
Despite harm reduction practices, drug testing, and efforts to ensure safe supply, overdose occurs every day. But overdose fatalities don’t have to. Most overdoses are reversible with the quick administration of naloxone.
To be reversed, an overdose must first be detected.
This is hard when so many people choose to use drugs alone.
The Brave App provides virtual access to remote supervision and overdose support. It makes overdose detection available wherever and whenever people use drugs.

Supervised consumption works. It’s proven to significantly reduce overdose fatalities in practicing areas. But communities in North America have struggled to get life-saving supervised consumption sites sanctioned.
The Brave App makes virtual supervised consumption accessible to everyone, especially those most at risk.
The Brave App is a smartphone application that connects a Caller who is consumingdrugs alone to a trained Supporter who stays on the line with them as there’s potential for an overdose to happen. Anyone in your community who uses drugs can download and use The Brave App on their Android or Apple device. Callers remain anonymous. Their location is only revealed if it’s necessary to keep them safe.
For Overdose Detection tools to be effective, they must be tailored to the needs of those most at risk of overdose.
Thousands of people who use drugs (PWUD), along with dozens of organisations striving to solve the opioid overdose crisis, have co-designed The Brave App.

“This app is evidence that there are innovative and respectful ways to keep the people that we love safe while using drugs.”
“Why isn’t this everywhere? This needs to be everywhere.”
“This app is amazing, if for no other reason because it saves lives. But also because it promotes community members to be involved in supporting their own community by meeting people where they're at!”
Public spaces across North America are using Brave Overdose Detection tools to keep their communities safe.
We work closely with community leaders to develop pilot programs that test and prove the value of The Brave App within their communities. Pilots look a little different for every community and are generally divided into five stages.
Once the pilot establishes the efficacy of The Brave App for your area, we’ll help you develop a full-scale rollout plan to serve the community at large.
