In an emergency, seconds count. An estimated 1,000 "saveable" lives are lost a year because of slow emergency response in the nation’s biggest cities. But in traffic-jammed urban environments, how can a four-wheeled ambulance be expected to make it anywhere and back quickly? Drone Ambulance is s a one­-person ambulance drone modeled after a standard quadcopter—driven by a GPS, pilot, or combination of both—that could be dispatched to an emergency scene with a single Emergency Medical Technician. It’s designed to land almost anywhere, thanks to a footprint the size of a compact car. The Emergency Medical Technician stabilizes the patient, loads him up, and sends him back to the hospital for further treatment.
