Everdrone Expands Life-Saving Drone Operations to Mölndal, Sweden

Everdrone is proud to announce the expansion of its life-saving drone operations to Mölndal, marking the sixth active deployment site in Sweden. Since 2021, Everdrone has been working in collaboration with Västra Götalandsregionen (VGR), the Emergency Medical Dispatch Center (Sjukvårdens Larmcentral), SOS Alarm, and Karolinska Institutet to deliver automated external defibrillators (AEDs) via autonomous drones to critical medical emergencies. This initiative has already resulted in approximately 300 successful AED deliveries, significantly reducing response times for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) and increasing the chances of survival.

Scaling Impact Across Västra Götaland

With the addition of Mölndal, Everdrone now operates in six locations across the region:
– Fiskebäck
– Torslanda
– Kungälv
– Trollhättan
– Vänersborg
– Mölndal

These strategically positioned skybases enable Everdrone’s fleet to provide emergency assistance to a population of over 250,000 people. The service expansion in Mölndal will now reach an additional 60 000 residents across a 100 km² service area, covering most of Mölndals municipality.

A Breakthrough in Airspace Operations

Unlike Everdrone’s existing deployment sites, the Mölndal area is outside controlled airspace, making it a significant milestone in drone-based emergency response. Operating in uncontrolled airspace presents both challenges and opportunities: it allows for greater operational flexibility while also requiring advanced safety systems to ensure seamless integration with other air traffic.

“Expanding to an area outside controlled airspace is a major step forward. It demonstrates the scalability of our technology and how it can be deployed in diverse environments. This paves the way for broader adoption of life-saving drone services across more regions,”says Johnny Hörberg, Head of Flight Operations at Everdrone.

Pioneering the Future of Emergency Response

Everdrone and VGR are at the forefront of integrating drone technology with emergency medical services, making Västra Götalandsregionen a global leader in AED drone delivery. By continuously refining the system, every new deployment builds on real-world mission data to maximize efficiency, safety, and life-saving potential.

This expansion is a important step in our mission to reduce preventable deaths through faster, technology-driven emergency response. As we continue to scale, our goal is to make rapid drone-assisted interventions accessible to even more communities in Sweden and beyond.
