The importance of every second while a person is having a cardiac arrest can't be stressed enough, and the availability of the requisite medical equipment in the fastest possible time could end up saving many lives. With this objective in mind, Flirtey, a Nevada-based drone-delivery company, has launched specialized drones for defibrillator delivery as part of every response to a cardiac arrest emergency. "We have the ability to deliver lifesaving aid into the hands of people who need it -- why aren't we as a society doing it already? This is one of the most important uses of drone delivery technology, and we believe that by democratizing access to this lifesaving aid, our technology will save more than a million lives over the decades to come," Flirtey CEO Matthew Sweeny told the Reno Gazette-Journal last week. Flirtey will work in collaboration with the Regional Emergency Medical services Authority (REMSA) to provide drone-delivered medical help until trained medical technicians arrive. It will send across an automated external defibrillator via a drone ahead of an ambulance despatch for emergency cases that involve a cardiac arrest.
