Current emergency transportation for medical needs, a market that will reach $93,2 Billion in 2021 needs a technological upgrade. The actual delivery process involves long waiting time, depends on a specialized driver and has to be delivered by road, or, when extremely necessary, by helicopter, both alternatives represent high direct and indirect costs (up to 2000€) that have to be faced by the medical facilities, the government and the citizens, while every minute lost could potentially endanger patient’s life.
