Drones Deliver AEDs to Save Lives | Winston–Salem News

Forsyth County is revolutionizing emergency response by launching two new drone stations equipped to deliver life-saving AEDs in record time—potentially cutting response from 10-12 minutes down to just 2-5. This pioneering U.S. first, funded by a $4M American Heart Association grant secured by Duke’s Dr. Monique Starks, lets drones lower AEDs via cable for bystanders to use while dispatchers guide them until paramedics arrive. Survival rates jump 50-70% when AEDs are deployed within five minutes. Join upcoming CPR demos and info sessions with Sheriff Kimbrough and Duke reps to learn how you can help save lives.
