Scientists from the Moscow Technological Institute showcased what could be the future of accessible medicine, a drone equipped with a defibrillator, which could decrease response times to heart attack cases dramatically. The drone’s maximum speed is about 30 mph, it features a maximum flying distance of about 15 miles, and it can be operated for 30 minutes without charging.
Drones have revolutionised many industries already, including photography, military reconnaissance, and even sports video, but the latest drone innovation may save your life. A unique quadcopter drone developed for the beaches of Spanish Catalonia is designed to save drowning bathers by tossing them a lifejacket from the air. The drone is operated by rescue workers from the beach, which use a built-in video camera to navigate the quadcopter and life vest to a drowning swimmer and allows rescuers to monitor an emergency situation real-time. Developers claim the drone can reach a drowning bather in less than a minute, compared to a life guard, who usually takes up to three minutes. The drone is still being tested, but it could be saving lives by the end of the year.
Business Insider contributor Jackie Lam says she took an unconventional approach to building her emergency fund. Wasting no time, the minute she got her first, tiny, rented apartment, she began saving towards her goal of $5,000. And she got there fast, by 'glamping' in her apartment. For the first few months of residency, she ate and slept on the floor. Later, her mattress and box spring came from IKEA. It took her three years to finally buy a used loveseat off Craigslist. The rest of her furniture was lovingly hand-picked from the curb. Lam kept her grocery bill down to $25 a week by planning menus based on sales. By using Christmas LED lights and candles, spent $15 a month on electricity. She kept her car in great shape by biking, walking, and taking the bus everywhere she could. And guess what? She hit her target in just a year!
