Implantable devices for drug delivery in response to detected biometric parameters associated with an opioid drug overdose and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. An implantable drug delivery device configured in accordance with some embodiments of the present technology can include a housing and a reservoir configured to contain a drug for treatment of the opioid overdose. The implantable drug delivery device can also include one or more sensors each configured to detect the biometric parameters associated with the overdose. The implantable drug delivery device can further include a controller configured to receive signals related to the biometric parameter, determine whether the overdose occurred based on the signals, and, if the overdose is detected, cause the drug to be delivered to the patient. |
