Medication, defibrillators, and emergency first aid supplies may soon be delivered by drones faster and more efficiently than even EMS can respond.

Researchers have evaluated the possibility of alerting drones equipped with automated external defibrillators (AED) to patients with suspected cardiac arrest. In more than half of the cases, the drones were ahead of the ambulance by an average of three minutes.

A new study finds drones deliver life-saving equipment to patients with suspected cardiac arrests faster than ambulances.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have evaluated the possibility of alerting drones equipped with automated external defibrillators (AED) to patients with suspected cardiac arrest.

People who have gone into cardiac arrest can get treatment faster if a drone delivers a defibrillator, but there needs to be someone nearby trained in CPR, shows a trial in Sweden

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have evaluated the possibility of alerting drones equipped with automated external defibrillators (AED) to patients with suspected cardiac arrest.

The feasibility of deploying drones equipped with automated external defibrillators (AED) to attend to individuals suspected of having cardiac arrest was assessed by researchers at Karolinska Institutet.

Sweden is one of the first places to develop an AED drone delivery program, and over the span of four months, they made 11 deliveries.

In the future, drones could potentially deliver defibrillators to cardiac arrest calls before first responders arrive.
