SaveMyFriend
Would you know what to do if someone near you overdosed, stopped breathing, or experienced a life-threatening allergy?
SaveMyFriend walks you through it: step by step, in real time, for free. Developed by emergency and addiction medicine physicians, this app puts life-saving guidance in your pocket.
Being ready to save a life has never been easier.
SaveMyFriend guides you through responding to the most common life-threatening emergencies where bystander intervention often makes the difference between life and death:
Overdose (opioids, benzodiazepines, and others)
Alcohol poisoning
Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
Altered mental status
Every guided response in SaveMyFriend uses basic life support (BLS) techniques: foundational skills that anyone can learn and perform, no medical background needed.
All instructions in SaveMyFriend are developed + reviewed by Emergency and Addiction Medicine physicians, including the inventor of NARCAN®️ nasal spray.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH SAVE MY FRIEND
Be instantly guided with clear, step-by-step instructions during an emergency:
Call 911 directly from the app with one tap
Know your rights under Good Samaritan Law for any US State and Canada
Learn how to administer NARCAN® (naloxone) for overdose
Learn how to use an EpiPen® for anaphylaxis
Perform rescue breathing with guided instructions
Place someone in the recovery position safely
WORKS WITHOUT CELL SERVICE
SaveMyFriend works completely offline - no Wi-Fi or cellular connection needed.
Whether you're at a music festival, a concert, a campsite, on an airplane, or anywhere with limited service — the app is fully functional.
Even if your service can't dial 911 , you can still follow every step to help while someone else goes to find professional medical responders.
WORKS IF UNDER THE INFLUENCE
In a worst case scenario, the only person available to respond may not be sober. SaveMyFriend was designed with a simple interface to:
Give 1 instruction at a time for ease of comprehension and action.
Be as legible as possible for those who have substance-induced changes in their vision.
Readily provide the local Good Samaritan Law for Overdose in an easy-to-understand and citable format, to reduce fears of prosecution for possession of illicit drugs or paraphernalia that would otherwise prevent a bystander from dialing 911.
WHY WE BUILT SAVE MY FRIEND
Most people will witness a medical emergency in their lifetime.
Most have never been taught how to respond.
Many do not take action because they are afraid to.
SaveMyFriend was built to close that gap.
Every second counts, and you don't need to be a medic to help save a life.
SaveMyFriend is and will always be free. No ads. No account required. No personal information collected. No AI.
SaveMyFriend™ is developed and supported by DopaGE® - because no one else should lose a friend or loved one to an overdose.
