As part of its work to revolutionize emergency response to cardiac arrests, Hovecon seeks information from companies with drone delivery solutions for Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs). This work is part of the RESTORe-CARE Drone AED Delivery Program led by Duke University School of Medicine and funded by an American Heart Association (AHA) grant<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Details of the required capabilities and submission requirements are outlined in the Request for Information<\/a> (RFI) issued today. Responses must be received by Project Engineer Ben Spain via email to ben.spain@hovecon.com no later than March 15, 2024.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annually, over 350,000 individuals experience a\nlife-threatening event known as sudden cardiac arrest. Surviving a cardiac\narrest is challenging, yet prompt medical intervention, such as CPR and the\ndeployment of an AED, can increase survival chances. The American Heart\nAssociation states that 90% of cardiac arrest victims who are shocked by an AED\nwithin the first minute survive. Currently, emergency responders take\napproximately 8-10 minutes to reach most patients suffering from cardiac arrest\noutside of a hospital setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RESTORe-CARE Drone AED Delivery Program aims to reduce emergency response times, particularly in rural areas where access to medical care is limited. Early results from Duke University led research<\/a> sponsored by the National Institutes of Health show that response times can be reduced enough to meet the critical five-minute resuscitation window when using a drone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to see which drone delivery solutions can\npotentially support our research and ultimately improve outcomes for sudden\ncardiac arrest in rural America,\u201d said Hovecon President Rebecca Yap.  \u201cWe are fortunate to be a part of this grant\nwhich will lay the framework for AED drone delivery nationwide.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hovecon will host a vendor demonstration day for interested\nRFI respondents, to allow research partners, including Duke University School\nof Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Medical Center\/Medical\nCollege, Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, and James City County Police\nDepartment. The event is tentatively planned for March 27, 2024, in\nWinston-Salem, NC.  To learn more, sign\nup at http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/AEDDeliveryDemo<\/a>\nto receive event details.
