In a first for medical history, a drone has helped save the life of a cardiac arrest victim. The autonomous drone, created by Everdrone, delivered a defibrillator to a doctor attending a 71-year-old man in Trollhättan, Sweden, on December 9.

The man, who does not wish to be identified, was shoveling snow from his driveway when he suffered the cardiac arrest. The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) arrived in just over three minutes and enabled Dr. Mustafa Ali to initiate life-saving measures before the arrival of an ambulance.
