About Us
Our Story
While walking through a neighborhood in St. Louis, a group of friends encountered someone experiencing an opioid overdose. One of them owned naloxone – a proven, lifesaving medication – but it wasn’t with them at the moment it was needed. That reminded us of our own tragedy: losing a loved one to an overdose, in spite of them owning naloxone. Those experiences made something clear: access alone isn’t enough. Preparedness matters.
If life saving medication is awkward to carry, easy to damage, or difficult to keep close, it’s more likely to be left behind. And when that happens, the opportunity to save a life can be lost. nCase was built to help remove that friction; not by changing the medication, but by rethinking how it’s carried.

Our naloxone carry cases are designed to fit naturally into daily routines. They’re compact, weather-resistant, and durable enough for real-world use; whether clipped to keys, stored in a bag, or kept within easy reach.
Every design decision is intentional, shaped by conversations with healthcare professionals, harm reduction advocates, first responders, and community partners. The goal is simple: make it easier for people to carry naloxone consistently and confidently.
This is design in service of preparedness.

nCase was founded by Dani Wilder and Matt Bitner-Glindzicz, whose backgrounds in healthcare, research, and mechanical design shape everything we build. Dani is a medical student at Washington University School of Medicine with firsthand experience and research focused on naloxone access and overdose response. Matt is a mechanical design engineer whose technical expertise guides the durability, function, and real-world usability of nCase products.
Together with a small, dedicated team spanning design, engineering, healthcare, and community advocacy, they’re united by a shared belief: thoughtful, practical tools – informed by real-world experience – can help reduce barriers to preparedness and save lives.
