Drones for emergency medical assistance, Sis 118 launches Seuam

Revolutionizing healthcare emergency through the use of drones and mobility systems Urban Air Mobility. This is the objective of the agreement. of technical-operational partnership between Sis 118, UrbanV and D-Flight, an Enav Group company, for the launch of Seuam (Sanitary Emergency Urban Air Mobility). The project experimental is conceived and coordinated by Mario Balzanelli, President Sis 118.

UrbanV is an operator of drones certified in the design and management of infrastructures dedicated to drones, while D-Flight guarantees technical support for the safe and efficient integration of drones in the airspace. The initiative, in an initial experimental phase (2025-2028), will see flight tests in the municipalities participating in the project, including Altomonte (Cs), Santa Lucia di Serino (Av), Massa di Somma (Na), Pizzo Calabro (Vv), Laterza (Ta), Rosciano (Pe) and Trebisacce (Cs). In these scenarios, drones will be used to deliver lifesaving devices in record time, overcoming obstacles logistics and reducing dependence on emergency vehicles traditional.
