🚨 Our Mission
At Project WAIN, our mission is to save lives by getting vital emergency equipment to patients faster — especially in areas where traditional ambulance access is delayed by distance, terrain, or traffic.
We use drones to deliver defibrillators (AEDs), catastrophic haemorrhage kits, and other life-saving tools directly to the scene — often before emergency crews arrive. These crucial minutes can mean the difference between survival and loss.
Our goal isn’t to replace emergency services — it’s to support them. To bridge the gap in response times. To empower communities. And to prove that innovative, community-led solutions can truly change outcomes when it matters most.
❗ Why This Matters
In a medical emergency, every minute without help increases the risk of death or long-term disability. For patients in rural or remote areas, ambulance response times can be significantly longer — not because crews aren’t working hard, but because of distance, traffic, weather, or blocked access.
Lives have been lost simply because help couldn’t get there in time.
That’s where Project WAIN comes in. By deploying drones carrying defibrillators and bleed kits, we can start the chain of survival before the ambulance even arrives. Whether it's a heart attack in a countryside village, a farm injury, or a flood-stranded patient — our drones are designed to give responders and communities the head start they need.
This matters because your location should never determine your chance of survival.
🚁 How It Works
When a 999 call comes in and response times are expected to be delayed, Project WAIN can deploy a drone within minutes — carrying vital equipment like a defibrillator or catastrophic bleed kit directly to the scene.
Here’s how it works:
-
Call received – A life-threatening emergency is reported in a rural or hard-to-reach location.
-
Drone launched – Our drone is deployed from a local base and sent straight to the scene.
-
Arrival – The drone often beats traditional road crews to the location.
-
Equipment accessed – Bystanders are guided to use the defibrillator or medical kit with step-by-step instructions while emergency services are still en route.
All drones are operated by trained, certified pilots and equipped with GPS tracking, flight logging, and return-to-base functionality. We’re working closely with regulatory bodies to ensure safety, compliance, and efficiency.
Our goal? To shave off critical minutes and give people a fighting chance.
