SoundByte EP 23: Dr. Sheldon Cheskes on drones saving lives with Automated External Defibrillators
On today's edition of our Sound Byte micro-podcast, we check in with Dr. Sheldon Cheskes, Medical Director at the Sunnybrook Centre for Prehospital Medicine, and a professor at the University of Toronto.
Some of his work specialises in cardiac arrest resuscitation – and he's a leader in research to use drones to deliver automated external defibrillators and other emergency medical supplies to rural and remote locations.
As a result, we're on the cusp of this becoming a reality in Canada.
