In 2016, San Luis Obispo (SLO) County formed the SLO Opioid Safety Coalition (SLO OSC) to address opioid misuse in the region. During the first 12 months of the pandemic, fatal opioid overdoses increased over 30 percent nationally, and more than doubled in SLO county. Facing the sharp increase of preventable deaths in their community, the SLO OSC knew they needed to find a way to increase access to Naloxone, a life-saving treatment for opioid overdoses.

Jenn Rhoads, SLO OSC Coordinator, County of San Luis Obispo Health Agency Prevention & Outreach Division discusses how they worked with the Cal Poly Digital Transformation Hub (DxHub) powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) to develop a prototype using AWS Cloud technologies: a web application that’s accessible on any browser or device. Cities, counties, and community members alike who are looking to help save hundreds, even thousands, of lives and prevent fatal opioid overdoses can adopt the app.
