Alec Momont of TU Delft's Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering ( Netherlands) designed his prototype for an ambulance drone together with the Living Tomorrow innovation platform as part of his graduation programme. When the emergency services receive a cardiac arrest call, this unmanned, autonomously navigating aeroplane can quickly deliver a defibrillator to the emergency scene.
CARDIAC ARREST = paro cardíaco
UNMANNED = no tripulado
DELIVER = entregar
A network of such drones could significantly increase the chance of survival following a cardiac arrest: from 8% to 80%!
