The man last named Sven told reporters about his experience and said, ‘’ everything from the first 112 calls to the drone getting the signal to start and go took 15-30 seconds. Then the whole process took about three and a half minutes.’’

Ali said, ‘’ I was on my way to work at the local hospital when I looked out the car window and saw a man collapsed in his driveway.’’
He added, ‘’ I immediately understood that something is wrong and rushed to help. The man had no pulse, so I started doing CPR while asking another bystander to call 112. Just minutes later, I saw something flying above my head. It was a drone with a defibrillator. ‘’
The 71-year-old patient fully recovered and was able to return home. He was very thankful for the new technology and the speedy delivery of the device. He said, ‘’I can’t put into words how thankful I am. If it wasn’t for the drone I probably wouldn’t be here.’’
Cutting edge Drone Technology
Everyone CEO Mats Sallstrom said, ‘’ this is an excellent real-world example of how Everdrone’s cutting edge drone technology, fully integrated with emergency dispatch, can minimize the time for access to life-saving AED equipment.’’
Likewise, Everdrone network reaches almost 200,000 residents in Sweden. Moreover, it is expected to expand in near future to more locations. Also, unnamed aircraft could be fixed with other medical equipment. The CEO added that we started with defibrillators because it’s such an emergency.
