We work to ensure that sick and injured patients are getting the best treatment possible. That’s why we always have several innovation projects operative. The goal is that the solutions we develop can be implemented in the air ambulance service to make it even better.
Every tenth air ambulance mission is stopped by bad weather conditions. Therefore, we develop solutions that improve flight safety, such as weather cameras and GPS routes, so that patients can get help even in bad weather.
So far, 93 emergency medical communication centres in Norway use video (updated May 2023). With a better situational awareness from the site, operators can send out the right help faster. The goal is for everyone in Norway to get this solution that has already helped save lives.
The Norwegian Air Ambulance Foundation was the very first customer in the world to receive a new Airbus H145 helicopter. Our new research and innovation helicopter is used for just that; innovation, research, and development, so that patients will receive even better help in the future.
The helicopter crew first sees what can be improved. During the working day, ideas often emerge for how the vital work can be carried out even better. Together, we develop new solutions that can save vital minutes for patients.
