Because every second counts
Faster response saves lives
End preventable loss of life
In emergencies, quick access to life-saving emergency medical supplies can be the difference between life and death. But every year, countless lives are lost in the critical minutes following medical emergencies. This can be prevented. For every minute saved in getting assistance and an automated external defibrillator (AED) to a person experiencing cardiac arrest, the chance of survival increases by 10%.
Introducing a Drone-enhanced Emergency Medical Service (DEMS)
By integrating autonomous drone technology into the EMS workflow, bystanders and first responders are empowered with life-saving tools and enhanced situational awareness. DEMS can be on-site within 2-3 minutes of an emergency call, bridging the crucial gap before ambulances typically arrive 6-7 minutes later in urban areas.
A paradigm shift in how emergency care is provided, bridging the gap between emergency calls and on-scene care when every second counts.
Revolutionizing emergency response: How DEMS works and how to implement it
Everdrone has designed a highly efficient Deployment-as-a-Service (DaaS) system by establishing a geographic grid that ensures optimal response times and targets the number of incidents effectively. This system is easy to implement, requiring no complex flight organization or additional training support. With multipurpose functionality, such as dynamic payload management and live video feeds, the DEMS system integrates effortlessly into existing EMS operations, making life-saving interventions faster and more accessible.
Step-by-step breakdown of DEMS
1. Emergency call triggered
When an emergency call (911/112) is placed, both the DEMS system and traditional EMS services are activated simultaneously, ensuring rapid deployment.
2. Drone dispatched immediately
Within seconds, the DEMS drone is dispatched with essential life-saving emergency medical supplies, including defibrillators, anti-bleeding kits, or Narcan, all managed by the system's dynamic payload capabilities. The dispatch process is fully automated and synchronized with EMS systems, making it seamless for emergency teams to operate.
3. Arrival within 2-3 minutes
The DEMS drone arrives at the scene within 2-3 minutes, significantly outpacing traditional EMS vehicles. The equipment is delivered directly to bystanders or citizen responders, enabling them to act immediately.
4. Real-time guidance provided
Using live video feeds and two-way communication, dispatchers guide bystanders through the process of administering life-saving actions, such as CPR, defibrillation, or the application of anti-bleeding kits. This ensures intervention is effective before EMS teams arrive.
5. EMS arrival and follow-up
EMS teams typically arrive within 9-10 minutes, but by then, critical life-saving actions have already been initiated under dispatcher guidance, significantly improving the patient’s chances of survival.
