About Everdrone

A healthtech company pioneering Drone Emergency Medical Services

We provide the integrated technology, aviation and operational capability that healthcare needs to establish and operate DEMS. Founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2017.

Our story

From the first live study to DEMS in daily operation

Everdrone started with a patient problem: most cardiac arrests happen at home, far from a defibrillator, and the first minutes decide the outcome.

In 2020, Everdrone's system was used in the first study of drones delivering AEDs to real suspected cardiac arrests. In 2021, a drone-delivered AED was used to defibrillate a patient before the ambulance arrived, contributing to his survival. Since then, Everdrone has moved from adapting an off-the-shelf aircraft to developing its own aircraft, DEMS bases and software. Today DEMS is in operation in Sweden and France.

What we stand for

Six principles behind every DEMS mission

01

Evidence before claims

What we build is measured in peer-reviewed studies, not in marketing numbers.

02

A complement, never a replacement

A DEMS resource supports the ambulance and the people already on scene. It replaces neither.

03

Narrow by choice

Since 2017 we have worked only with healthcare, emergency services and humanitarian response.

04

Safety designed in

Parachute recovery, redundant navigation and collision avoidance are part of the aircraft, not additions to it.

05

Built with those who answer the call

Dispatchers, clinicians and rescue services shape the service with us, from the first study to daily operations.

06

Every minute counts

Survival after cardiac arrest falls sharply for every minute without defibrillation. That is the clock we design against.

Operations

Aviation professionals, approved where people live

The people who fly DEMS missions

Every mission is supervised by an Everdrone flight supervisor

Our flight supervisors come from aviation, hold the drone pilot certificates the authorities require and complete DEMS Academy courses for complex DEMS missions. DEMS Academy also trains dispatchers and healthcare staff in the customer organisation, so the whole chain works the same way on every call.

Approvals and safety

Beyond visual line of sight, under EASA rules

Everdrone's authorisation has no population-density limitations, so DEMS resources can reach patients in towns and cities. No adverse events were reported in the published studies of live operations (2023, 2024, 2026).

Trust and compliance

Clear lines for clinical governance and data

Clinical governance

The healthcare provider decides DEMS applications, medical payloads and dispatch criteria. Everdrone does not set clinical protocol.

Data protection

Personal data is handled under the GDPR. Read how we collect, use and protect it in our privacy policy.
