Chennai, June 18: Invention and innovation are what India has always coined and supported. Giving a push to new innovative ideas, the students in Chennai have come up with drones that act as life savior. A drone capable of carrying first aid kit has been invented by the bright minds and will be accessed soon.

 

The efforts of the students of the St Peters Institute Of Higher Education and Research, in Avadi, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, drones are all set to become life-saving gear as well! The students have developed a drone which is capable of carrying a first aid kit to the scene of the accident in record time. As per the Emergency Management Research Institute (EMRI), the average response time for an ambulance nowadays has come down to 9.33 minutes from 13 minutes.

This is just the estimated time; however, there can be variations in timings due to various reasons. For example, in cities, traffic jams can hold up ambulances, while in rural and remote areas, the condition of roads can affect the response time. Explaining the new invention the team members described the unique features of the drone.

The drone inherits a built-in GPS system and the drone can carry a first-aid box weighing 8 kg and fly at a speed of up to 70 kmph. The prototype can be remotely controlled for up to 3 km, and the team is working on a model capable of being controlled for a longer distance.

Although there won’t be a medical professional on the site, the first aid could be put to use by anyone around the scene. The drone has an interactive display that can play out videos explaining the kind of first aid that needs to be given for various types of accidents and injuries. The drone as of now is in the development phase and still needs a lot of modification. The team claims that the upcoming automated version of the drone will have enhanced features which will avoid collision with birds, insects, and airborne objects.

Kudos to the team who have invented this new invention and have come a long way in emitting new invention and innovation before the masses.
