A medical drone will help defibrillate in minutes

Autonomous stations for defibrillation have become a familiar tool for physicians in many countries. Such devices are used by medical services at airports, similar tools work during major sporting events, when athletes (or spectators) can get a heart attack.

In the Netherlands, developed the next generation of stations of this type. The idea is to install a defibrillator on an unmanned aerial vehicle. The device is also equipped with a microphone, camera and speaker, which allows the physician to remotely control the process.

Yes, it is assumed that this drone can also be used by an ordinary person who called a “flying ambulance” using a special phone number. After the call, the drone arrives, sits down and folds the propellers. The person who called the station may use a defibrillator. All electrodes have the appropriate marking, so that even an unprepared person, by design, must do everything right.

In addition, the physician remotely directs all actions of a person who provides assistance to those who need it.



Of course, a number of questions arise here - for example, what if the “assistant” does something wrong, and does this “something” lead to the death of the victim? Probably, it is better to use such a device for physicians who are in the service at the airport, train station, supermarket and other crowded places. In this case, the use of the device is 100% justified.
