US drones to deliver defibrillators to help heart attack victims
DRONE delivery service Flirtey and community integrated emergency medical service provider REMSA in the US have teamed up to launch the first automated drone service to deliver defibrillators to help first responders treat victims of cardiac arrest before an ambulance arrives.
The drones will be dispatched at the same time as ambulances when REMSA receives an emergency 911 call. The drones are able to fly directly to the scene, and are like to arrive more quickly than ambulances whose response time can vary depending on distance and other factors, such traffic congestion. This allows treatment to begin sooner, improving the victim's odds of survival, reported London's Air Cargo New.
A statement from Flirtey said: "Together, Flirtey and REMSA are developing an emergency response and 9-1-1-integration process to allow for the rapid drone deployment programme - including combining Flirtey's flight planning software into REMSA's highly specialised patient care and transport programmes."
