Drones in mountain emergency medicine - any good?? Michiel Van Veelen delivered a webinar worldextrememedicine.com/videos/researc… on the topic focusing on our recent study by Eurac Research concerning AED delivery in mountainous areas. Study financed by the Fusion Grant II - Sparkasse Stiftung

An initiative recently launched by @EuracMemed physicians brought together #emergency #medicine experts and practitioners for a series of exercises in the @terraXcube, our extreme #climate simulator.

At Lake Braies, #drones transport a defibrillator to the site of a simulated #cardiac arrest. The experiment is part of our @EuracMemed scientists' efforts to study how fast drones can deliver first aid in the #wilderness. #medicine #firstaid #fieldstudy #emergency
