A startup is working on a system where defibrillators are carried by drone directly to the site of a cardiac arrest. The idea is that by avoiding infrastructure and traveling through the air, drones could reduce emergency response times, which is especially important for cardiac arrests where every passing minute lowers the chances of survival. The startup intends to launch the defibrillator-carrying drones in 2018.
