Design and control of electronics based medical emergency system using a Quadcopter

Abstract

Thesedays, there are many incidents that lead to road accidents, some being very severe. These accidents sometimes even result in loss of many lives. One of the major reasons for this loss is the lack of timely first aid. In fact, we observed from our survey conducted at an RTO that most deaths during accidents occur, due to delay or lack of first aid. The project focuses on developing a prototype of the system which would cater to the need of medical emergencies that arise during road accidents. This will be accomplished by use of a quadcopter which will deliver the required first aid. With this project, we are attempting to bring about faster accessibility to the patient, than other present means of medical emergency system. In order to achieve this goal, various means of communication will be utilized. The use of a camera will help to view the accident site. This will help to considerably bring down the death rates caused due to lack of timely first aid during accidents.
