Everdrone launches next-generation medical drone

Everdrone has unveiled its new E3 medical transport drone, a next-generation platform designed to expand the role of uncrewed aircraft in emergency response and special missions operations.

The Gothenburg-based company, which develops drone services for emergency medical use, says the E3 represents a major leap forward in performance and capability over its predecessor. Unlike the earlier E2 platform, which was built around commercial off-the-shelf components, the E3 has been developed entirely in-house to meet the specific demands of emergency care missions.

The autonomous E3 is monitored by a remote operator and features four rotor pairs with eight blades, proprietary vibration damping, and a cruising speed of more than 80km/h. Weighing 24kg and measuring 90x75x55cm (excluding propellers), the aircraft can carry payloads of up to 4.5kg – more than double the E2’s 2kg capacity.

The modular payload bay enables the transport of defibrillators as well as adrenaline for anaphylaxis, opioid overdose antidotes, bandages, and tourniquets. This flexibility opens practical applications not only for civilian emergency medical services, but also for public safety agencies, law enforcement, fire services, and other special missions operators requiring the rapid delivery of critical medical supplies to hard-to-reach or high-risk environments.

“On average in Sweden, it takes 10 minutes for an ambulance to arrive… Everdrone’s new drone can be on site in under three minutes,” Mats Sällström, CEO of Everdrone said, positioning the E3 as a lifesaving complement to traditional emergency services.

Everdrone recently signed a new agreement with the Ambulance Services Administration – an agency of the Stockholm local government – to provide emergency services support across Stockholm County, Sweden.
