Germany will be flying robots with defibrillators, which will save many lives

Germany is the first country where flying drones are used for urgent deliveries, resuscitation equipment. One such camera can cover the area with a radius of 15 km and deliver a defibrillator to the man whose heart has stopped, a maximum of 10 minutes from the submission call.
In Germany from sudden cardiac arrest every year killed about 100 thousand people. The main cause of death, if there is a cardiac arrest, is the lack of near victims of the defibrillator, with which are electro-impulse therapy of cardiac arrhythmias. To cope with the use of the device will be able to any person who is near with the victim. If need be, physicians will be able to give him instructions over the phone. But without a defibrillator, even highly qualified doctors can't restore the normal functioning of the cardiac ventricles.





To solve this problem will help Deficopter — UAV based quadcopter equipped with a mobile defibrillator. He created his company Heigh Tech and German non-profit organization Definetz. Apparatus equipped with 8 screws and is able to deliver almost 5 pound defibrillator to a distance of 15 km at a speed of 70 km/h.
