Inkampani ye-Atlantic yaseCanada ye-med-tech, i-Dispension Industries Inc. izisa iteknoloji yokusindisa ubomi kwizitrato zaseFiladelphia, kwindawo apho ukufa okuhlobene ne-opioid kukhula ngokukhawuleza. I-Dispension's smart locker kiosks isetyenziselwa ukufikelela kwi-Narcan, i-brand ye-Naloxone, eliyeza elisindisa ubomi elibuyisela umva ngokukhawuleza iziphumo ze-opioid overdose.
Inkqubo ebizwa ngokuba yi-'Narcan Near Me', iyinxalenye yeSebe laseFiladelphia lokunciphisa umonakalo kunye nenkqubo yokuphendula i-overdose, ehambisa izixhobo zeNarcan zamahhala kwisixeko sonke. I-smart locker kiosks iqulethe iikiti ze-22 zokuthintela ukugqithiswa kwedosi, ezinokufumaneka ngokucofa isikrini sokuchukumisa phambi kwesixhobo. Kwimeko yonxunguphalo, i-kiosk inokunxibelelana ngokuthe ngqo kwi-911.
“Siphulukene nabantu abaninzi baseFiladelphia kule ngxaki yokudlula idosi,” utshilo uSodolophu wasePhiladelphia uJim Kenney. “Kungoko sizama izimvo ezintsha nezintsha ukunceda ukusindisa ubomi. INarcan Near Me Towers evela kwiDispension, Inc. luhlobo kanye lwempendulo ekhaliphileyo esiyidingayo. Ngezi Towers, sinokuqinisekisa ukuba iNaloxone esindisa ubomi ifumaneka iiyure ezingama-24 ngosuku kwiindawo eziyidingayo. ”
Ikhithi nganye iqulethe iidosi ezimbini zeNarcan, iiglavu, izikhuselo zobuso, kunye noncedo olubonakalayo kwindlela yokulawula iyeza. I-kiosks ibekwe kwiindawo ezimbini zikawonkewonke eMzantsi kunye ne-West Philadelphia ngezicwangciso zokwandisa inkqubo kwiindawo ezisibhozo ezongezelelweyo kwisixeko.
EKhanada, iivenkile zokunciphisa umonakalo zeDispension zisasaze ngaphezu kwe-10,000 yemiyalelo kwilizwe lonke, njengenxalenye yenkqubo exhaswa ngemali ngurhulumente yokuthintela ukusetyenziswa kakubi kwedosi kunye nokunciphisa ulwaphulo-mthetho. Olu bambiswano olutsha kunye neSebe laseFiladelphia lezeMpilo yoLuntu lolokuqala lwayo e-US. Umseki weDispension uCorey Yantha uthi kufanelekile kwaye ukholelwa ukuba itekhnoloji iya kunceda ukusindisa ubomi obungenakubalwa.
"Itekhnoloji yethu yakhelwe ukubonelela ngobuninzi bezisombululo zezempilo kwaye sibonakalise impumelelo kwimpendulo kwingxaki yokugqithisela," utshilo uYantha. “Siyazi ukuba ibala elinxulunyaniswa nokunciphisa ingozi ngamanye amaxesha lithintela abantu ekubeni bafikelele kumayeza asindisa ubomi kwiikhemesti okanye kwiinkqubo zokufikelela ebantwini. Aba matshini benza iNarcan ifikeleleke ngokukhawuleza ngendlela ekhuselekileyo nekhuselekileyo, bexhobisa abo bayifunayo. ”
ISebe linokubeka iliso kwi-inventri yoomatshini nge-elektroniki yonke imihla, lize liphinde lisetyenziswe kumayeza, njengoko kuyimfuneko. Injongo kukuba iNarcan ifikeleleke ngakumbi kuluntu oluchatshazelwa yingxaki yokugqithiswa kwedosi kunye nokwandisa ukufikelela kwiinkonzo zokusindisa ubomi kwiintsapho kulo lonke elasePhiladelphia.
