Description
Summary:From the previous year’s statistics report, about 50% of the fatal death caused due to delays of ambulances during heart attack conditions. The ambulances are delayed due to heavy traffics in cities, rough terrains in a rural region, and other various factors. To reduce the effect of this critical situation an emergency medical drone called “MEDIC DRONE” is developed is used which can be used for surveillance. A device ardupilot is used of which is the heart of the drone which is used to control the dc brushless motors individually and helps to stabilize the drone during stalling conditions. The medkit consists of Heartbeat, Oximeter, ECG sensors, and other first-aid medicines. The sensor is used to monitor the pulse rate of the patient and upload the sensor value to the server cloud. The values are monitored by the near hospital faculty or doctor who can instruct accordingly. The drone also consists of a mini oxygen tank for any emergency condition. At the rooftop of the ambulance solar panels are attached to charge the battery. The night vision enabled camera is placed in the drone which makes to drive the drone in the nighttime. The camera is also programmed for surveillance purposes and the camera is controlled by raspberry pi zero. The raspberry pi is connected with wifi which is used to cast the screen for wireless devices. The Wi-Fi is powered by a dongle. The drone is placed inside the ambulance in case of traffic or other conditions the drone is used to give medical support in a short period.
