Skyaid Stakeholders  updated 10/12/02

 

Positive

Negative

Victims

10X increased chance of aborting SCD, much increased quality of life after heart attack or stroke

 

Family of victims

Save family member from death/reduced quality of life: Sudden Death, Heart Attack, and perhaps SIDS

Delay saving in some cities for 10 years
Additional medical costs may outweigh income due to living longer.

Urban Society - victim

Victim (parent) continues to support family: e.g. economically

Death reduces overcrowding, eliminates expensive medical bills (low/negative value of a life)

Rural Society

Unable to save in rural area – not ‘cost effective’ unless by subscription or philanthropy – and may still need Skyaid Watch to get to SCA victim in time.

 

Society - transportation

Enables air-taxi and other services which will reduce traffic jams

Air-taxi is elitist: only available to the rich

Countries without 911

A very easy solution to a difficult problem  

Tax payers

 

Increase medical burden

Subscribers

Saves subscribers life or life of a family member

Want to have a ‘living will’ = right to die – which should be a feature of the Skyaid Watch

Manufacturer of watch

   

Manufacturer of Skycar

   

Manufacturer of AED

Possible increased market as the public become aware of AED utility

Possible decreased market – 100X fewer AED needed than public access would require

FAA / JAA/ ICAO

 

Reluctant to make any changes to the aviation rules

EMS

Partner – Skyaid is an adjunct to current 911 services

Competition – may take over much of the EMS responsibility

Hospitals and emergency medical centers

- Allows specialization: some hospitals specialize in strokes, some heart attacks, and some auto crash, etc.
- More ‘business’ due to more Heart Attack survivors

- Hospitals which do not take general or specific emergencies may see decrease in income
- Less stroke rehabilitation ‘business’

Hospitals without 911

Increases hospital 'catchment size' 100X for many types of emergencies – enabling emergency rooms for hospitals which did not previously have them

Cardiologists/ Emerg. Physicians

Increase in survivors will increase ‘business’

 

Wealthy

Donations can result in saving own life/family member, society good will, and a tax write-off

Foundations

Donations to Skyaid can be directly linked to lives saved – unlike most other charities

American Heart Association

Decrease death and debilitation of victims

Possible threat to size/power of AHA.
Might reduce public’s concern about the diseases

Businesses Skyaid can be an employee benefit - especially  useful where there is little or poor access to emergency medical care
