The Idea origin story

Our innovative startup, LifeSaver Band, merges the concept of a festival or concert admission wristband with a discreet fentanyl test strip. This unique combination not only enhances the concert experience but also promotes safety amongst concert-goers by allowing them to check for the presence of potentially lethal substances. With our solution, we aim to transform the music events industry and help protect lives.

The Mission

Our mission is safeguarding lives. Our vision is making LifeSaver Band ubiquitous in every venue using disposable wristbands, providing discrete substance testing capabilities.

Clients

Festival planners, concert planners, bars who use wristbands for admission

Problems we solve

Client’s problem

high risk of overdose due to unknowingly consuming fentanyl; event planners need to create safe environments

Confirmation of problem

Last year over 70,000 americans overdosed from fentanyl, most of them unaware what they were actually consuming

Solution

Our solution merges admission wristbands with fentanyl test strips. Now every event-goer can discreetly self-test, removing social stigma and enhancing safety.

Our technologies

This solution is based on technologies

fentanyl test strips and disposable admissions wristbands. Both exist, this solution just combines them

How it works

Detach the strip from your wristband, moisten it, swipe across the drug. Like a pH strip, two lines indicate fentanyl presence.
