The National Science Foundation Division of Industrial Innovation awarded $255,719 under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program to Quantworks, Inc. to develop drone-delivered automated external defibrillators for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims. The Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will create algorithms to optimize drone spatial distribution and integrate emergency drone response directly into 911 dispatch systems. This includes real-time launch decision support and asset tracking capabilities. The goal is to reduce emergency response times and improve patient outcomes through early bystander defibrillation. The one-year project completion date is January 31, 2023.
