GPS Based UAV for Medical Emergency Application

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have emerged as promising tools for addressing medical emergencies by facilitating swift transportation of medical supplies to remote or inaccessible areas. This paper proposes a GPS-based UAV system designed specifically for medical emergency response. The UAV is equipped with precise GPS navigation technology, enabling it to autonomously navigate to predefined coordinates or dynamically generated emergency locations. The system integrates advanced sensors and communication modules to ensure efficient and reliable delivery of medical payloads, including essential supplies like first aid kits, medication, blood samples, or organs for transplantation. Moreover, the UAV is designed with safety features such as collision avoidance systems and redundant fail-safes to mitigate potential risks during flight. The proposed GPS-based UAV system holds significant potential to revolutionize emergency medical services by providing rapid and efficient support, particularly in remote or disaster-stricken areas where traditional transportation methods face limitations. Future enhancements may focus on optimizing flight routes, enhancing payload capacity, and integrating real-time monitoring systems for enhanced situational awareness and response coordination.
