Abstract


 This Horizon Scanning report summarizes information regarding an emerging health technology — a wearable respiratory sensor for the detection of opioid-induced respiratory depression
 Devices that detect opioid-induced respiratory depression such as RESPMETER could help to prevent opioid overdose deaths by alerting first responders so that they can intervene earlier and administer naloxone.
 RESPMETER, or devices like it, could play a role in opioid overdose management. However, information on its effectiveness and safety for detecting opioid-induced respiratory depression is needed.
