Overdose prevention app available across Calgary

The Digital Overdose Response System (DORS), a mobile app designed to help Albertans using opioids and other substances while alone in their homes, is now available to everyone in the Calgary area.

The DORS app can be downloaded to a smart phone free of charge from any app store or via DORSApp.ca. When using the app, Albertans will receive a call from the STARS emergency centre if they become unresponsive to a timer. If an overdose is suspected, STARS will immediately dispatch emergency medical services to the person’s location. Expansion of the DORS app to Edmonton is expected by the end of September.
