Research suggests that, in certain cases, drones could quickly deliver life-saving interventions during city’s peak rush hour.
Could drones be used someday to deliver life-saving medications or interventions in the case of a child’s emergency, a drug overdose or in response to a mass casualty scene? According to new research presented at the American Academy of Pediatrics 2019 National Conference & Exhibition, it’s an idea worth exploring.
Researchers found that drones – or unmanned aerial vehicles – arrived faster than ambulances when transportation times were compared during peak rush hour in Brooklyn, N.Y., according to a research abstract, “Utility of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in Inner City Emergent Response During Peak Rush Hour Traffic.”
