UAV-Based Emergency Rescue System Delivers Vital Medical Aid to Remote Areas

AeroRelief, which aims to provide fully automated, all-in-one emergency delivery services via unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), was recently featured on CNN’s Tech for Good. The project is led by Prof. LI Mo, Director of the Low Altitude Economy Research Center (LAERC) and Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Division of Integrative Systems and Design (ISD), and comprises students and researchers of CSE and ISD. It is one of the first batch of Low-altitude Economy Regulatory Sandbox pilot projects announced by the HKSAR Government earlier this year.

AeroRelief is an emergency delivery drone system built to bring vital medical aid to people in hard-to-reach areas. It is powered by an advanced AI-driven dispatch platform along with an SMS-based locating system, enabling it to analyze emergency calls, recommend essential equipment, and deliver supplies swiftly from the sky. This innovative solution addresses a pressing need, ensuring that essential life-sustaining supplies reach individuals before first responders arrive.
