'Ambulance Drone' Takes to the Skies of Belgium: BREAKING NEWS

- Updated: 15 Nov 2014
In the United States, heart disease remains the leading cause of death, and the odds of surviving a heart attack outside a hospital are 1-in-13 – odds that haven't improved in 30 years. But researchers from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands are trying to change that with what they're calling an ambulance drone.
Project creator Alec Momont explains in a video how his project could save lives. “At over 100 kilometers per hour (62 mph), these drones create an ultra-fast response system capable of increasing survival chance from 8 percent to 80 percent,” Momont says. “This is because the ambulance drone is not affected by current road infrastructure, but is capable of flying in a straight line, bringing down the average response time of an ambulance from 10 minutes to one. … The drone essentially becomes a flying toolbox for your emergency supplies.”
Momont developed a prototype of his idea, which includes wireless communications technology that would allow emergency personnel to instruct people near a heart attack victim how to use the drone’s defibrillator paddles. With the Federal Aviation Administration planning to release new guidelines for drone use in 2015, Momont’s idea could well turn from concept to reality.
