Two students from Shah Abdul Latif University in Khairpur have created a drone ambulance model to help flood victims. Sumaya Bhutto and Tohftul-Nisa Mirani, the inventors, are in their last year of study in the Physics department and presented their prototype at the annual Science Expo. The initiative was inspired by their desire to employ drone technology to improve healthcare delivery.
The drone ambulance can visit locations that humans cannot, providing crucial drugs and first assistance to trapped individuals. It may also identify those who need help.
The drone is operated remotely using a cell phone or laptop and has a 1000 KV motor that allows it to fly for 30-40 minutes at a speed of 70 metres per hour. It can carry up to 30 kg and is designed with a built-in first aid kit.
Sumaya Bhutto expanded, saying that the drone is referred to as an air ambulance because of its ability to give help. She went on to say that by using more powerful motors, the payload of the drone may be greatly increased.
