|
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 |
|

|
|

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 |
