Outline of Final Research Achievements	We published a paper on the possibility of using unmanned drones to assess patients, comparing a hovering group with patient-landing group, and found that the patient-landing group was more effective. Subsequently, a prototype of a casualty-suspended rover with a monitor, gas cylinder, and other equipment attached to the casualty was produced. Furthermore, a large-scale training test of the rover in human avalanche around an escalator is being conducted with the Hamamatsu Fire Department. A wrist band with a magnet was developed as a prototype of a wrist-type blood pressure monitor, and this was published as a paper. As for the flying cradle, we attempted to create one out of special styrene foam, and confirmed the possibility of towing it by a drone when it is on the water.
Free Research Field	救急災害
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	ドローンを用いた無人での傷病者評価を証明できたため、危険エリアでの傷病者トリアージに重要な礎になったと考える。多数傷病者にも対応可能であり、今後起こりうる自然災害・都市災害において今研究の技術が活用できるものと思われる。ローバーに関しては、悪路であっても無人でバイタル評価を行いながら搬送走行できるものが開発できており、ドローンと合わせ無人でトリアージを行い、さらに傷病者搬送することで傷病者と救助者それぞれのリスクを現在よりも減らすことができるようになるであろう。
