“Everdrone Broadens Life-Saving Drone Operations to Mölndal, Sweden”

Drone com­pa­ny, Ever­drone, announced last week that it has broad­ened its  life-sav­ing drone oper­a­tions to Möl­ndal, mark­ing the sixth active deploy­ment site in Swe­den, reports a press release. 

Since 2021, Ever­drone has been work­ing in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Väs­tra Göta­land­sre­gio­nen (VGR), the Emer­gency Med­ical Dis­patch Cen­tre (Sjukvår­dens Larm­cen­tral), SOS Alarm and Karolin­s­ka Insti­tutet, to deliv­er auto­mat­ed exter­nal defib­ril­la­tors (AEDs) via autonomous drones to crit­i­cal med­ical emer­gen­cies. 

The release points out, “This ini­tia­tive has already result­ed in approx­i­mate­ly 300 suc­cess­ful AED deliv­er­ies, sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduc­ing response times for out-of-hos­pi­tal car­diac arrests (OHCA) and increas­ing the chances of sur­vival.”

These strate­gi­cal­ly posi­tioned “Sky­bas­es” allow Everdrone’s fleet to pro­vide emer­gency assis­tance to a pop­u­la­tion of over 250,000 peo­ple. The ser­vice expan­sion in Möl­ndal will now reach an addi­tion­al 60,000 res­i­dents across a 100 km sq. ser­vice area, cov­er­ing most of Möl­ndals munic­i­pal­i­ty.

Unlike Everdrone’s present deploy­ment sites, the Möl­ndal area is out­side of con­trolled air­space, mak­ing it a sig­nif­i­cant mile­stone in drone-based emer­gency response. Oper­at­ing in uncon­trolled air­space presents both chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties, as it allows for greater oper­a­tional flex­i­bil­i­ty, while also requir­ing advanced safe­ty sys­tems to ensure seam­less inte­gra­tion with oth­er air traf­fic.

John­ny Hör­berg, Head of Ever­drone Flight Oper­a­tions, com­ment­ed, “Expand­ing to an area out­side con­trolled air­space is a major step for­ward. It demon­strates the scal­a­bil­i­ty of our tech­nol­o­gy and how it can be deployed in diverse envi­ron­ments. This paves the way for broad­er adop­tion of life-sav­ing drone ser­vices across more regions.”

The New Swedish Area for Ever­drone Life-Sav­ing Oper­a­tions

Ever­drone and VGR are at the fore­front of inte­grat­ing drone tech­nol­o­gy with emer­gency med­ical ser­vices, mak­ing Väs­tra Göta­land­sre­gio­nen a glob­al leader in AED drone deliv­ery. By con­tin­u­al­ly refin­ing the sys­tem, every new deploy­ment builds on real-world mis­sion data to max­imise effi­cien­cy, safe­ty and life-sav­ing poten­tial.

The release con­cludes, “The expan­sion is an impor­tant step in our mis­sion to reduce pre­ventable deaths through faster, tech­nol­o­gy-dri­ven emer­gency response. As we con­tin­ue to scale, our goal is to make rapid drone-assist­ed inter­ven­tions acces­si­ble to even more com­mu­ni­ties in Swe­den and beyond.”
