Area company heads up development of potential solution for opioid crisis

There’s a high cost to the opioid crisis. A White House report from The Council of Economic Advisers in November 2017 estimates that over 33,000 Americans died of a drug overdose involving opioids in 2015. It also estimates that the economic cost of the crisis was $504 billion in 2015. 

That's the crisis Sarasota-based product design firm Robrady recently entered, by working to develop a solution for a key point in the problem: when pills are dispensed to the patient.
