Abstract
Numerous lives are lost each day as a result of ambulance services arriving at accident scenes late. To address this, our project is creating a prototype for a drone ambulance system that will support conventional ambulance services in saving lives. This device could drastically lower the amount of fatalities brought on by delayed emergency medical services by delivering a quicker and more effective response. According to a research by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), 92% of the time during peak traffic hours, the average speed is not more than 30 to 40 km/h. A prototype of a drone ambulance system is being created to give patients quick medical attention in order to handle the urgency of emergency situations. The drone can reach the scene before the regular ambulance since it is fitted with sensors that can monitor several health indices including temperature, heart rate, and heartbeat. The sensors can be used to diagnose the patient's status with the help of paramedics by nearby professionals or on-site observers. To ensure that everyone involved in the patient's care is ready to meet their demands, the drone will send the information to the hospital personnel and the ambulance. This technology may save lives by getting to the patient before the ambulance. Utilizing a predetermined phone number and GPS, the prototype tracks the user's location and navigation. A fast and precise diagnosis is made possible by the drone's ability to measure real-time health data, increasing the likelihood that the patient will survive. This flying medical drone serves as a toolkit for emergencies, assisting the medical team in giving those in need quick care.
