Doctors often refer to the “golden hour,” the initial period lasting from a few minutes to several hours following a traumatic injury during which there is the highest likelihood that prompt medical treatment will prevent death.
A design team, led by Professor Yunwoo Jeong in the School of Design and Human Engineering (DHE) at UNIST has presented a novel design concept of rescue drone that could efficiently respond to golden hour emergencies in mountainous areas.
The 911$ Rescue Drone, proposed by Professor Jeong’s design team is a flying stretcher, designed for a range of emergency situations. The special design and function of the rescue drone offers to extract and carry patients efficiently with much less manpower, compared to existing emergency stretchers.
Besides, the design has recently been honored at the iF Design Award 2020, and thus proved its value. Mass production is underway and expected to be on the market, soon.
