A great use of technology

The flying defibrillator drone created by Dutch TU Delft student Alec Momont flies at 100kph for a response time of just 1 minute. Theoretically increasing the chance of survival from 8 percent to 80 percent. The drone tracks emergency mobile calls and uses the GPS to navigate. Once at the scene, an operator, like a paramedic, can watch, talk and instruct those helping the victim by using an on-board camera connected to a control room via a livestream webcam.



I think this is fab.

What a fantastic idea!!!

I've been working with technology all my life, hacked my first computer game way back in 1983!
But this is the first time I am truly awestruck by what IT can do!

Some yobs will though things at them to take em down.
Great idea though. Certainly with camera recording would be a splendid idea. The whole think is a very good idea indeed. Even delivering insulin to diabetics in an emergency.

The first time a yob brings down a medi-drone and the intended patient dies because of it, they could find themselves on a manslaughter charge. Only need to make an example of one of them!!

Sounds great to me.

You know the new Volvo cars, that automatically apply brakes when people walk in front of them. I think its only a matter of time before kids/yobs know cars will stop when crossing the road as the driver has no control of it, then get intimidated by the yobs. Advancing technology is great for safety but often it has a negative effect on something else.

Think we just need to eliminate yobs, and the world will be a better place.

I thought it was working extremely well in Afghanstan, that's why the extremists are kicking up a stink about their use!!
