The Air Force Medical University in China has developed an experimental drone capable of delivering emergency medication to wounded personnel from a distance. The system uses a mechanism to inject painkiller darts directly into a patient's muscle.
According to Wang Jianqi, a representative of the university, the technology aims to provide life-saving treatment in areas where the drone can fly. This approach is intended to minimize risks to medics and provide critical support during the so-called golden hour of medical care.
The project is currently in the experimental stage. Developers note that significant challenges remain, including the inability of the drone to assess a patient's vital signs or physical injuries remotely, as well as the difficulty of transporting incapacitated individuals without external help.
