REALIZATIONS - - - - - - - - -

9-1-1 design limitations can be met by Skyaid.
The 9-1-1 system design of the 70's should be altered to meet recent needs:
   1) Be fast enough for most sudden cardiac arrests (< 5 minutes)
   2) transport victims a long distance to regional centers for trauma, heart attack and stroke
Skyaid & Skyaid Watch should meet these needs as the 40% sudden cardiac arrests which are unobserved

Skyaid will save more lives annually than were lost in recent wars
