A group of inventors at the University of Cincinnati are developing a drone that can be used to conduct virtual visits in patients' homes. The technology aims to fill the gap in telehealth delivery among those who do not have access to the necessary devices or have uneven internet connectivity.
Graduate student Alec Momont from Delft University of Technology’s Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering in the Netherlands has created an ‘ambulance drone’ fitted with defibrillator that can reach heart attack victims within minutes, and potentially help save thousands of lives. According to researchers, a device like this could help increase the chance of survival by 8-80 […]
