Visual Communication Design, 2018

Vite-MedEmerg initiates a comprehensive service design for first aid around drone technology. We use the drone to deliver emergency medical equipment and other supplies for patients when they suffer a heart attack, hypertension, or chest pain — or for disaster victims who have trouble escaping. Our drones are piloted with a quick response system to shorten the arrival time and to increase survival chances before any rescue vehicles and personnel provide treatment.

Our vision is to improve current emergency infrastructure with a network of drones capable of saving lives at over 100 kilometers per hour.  An ambulance drone is not affected by current road infrastructure, and is capable of flying in a straight line, bringing down the average response time compared to an ambulance from 10 minutes to 1.

Yihao Zhang, as a passionate designer, has no complaints with his life. Instead, he only makes things better, lets them go, takes action, and sometimes exceeds expectation. He is always dedicated to discovering new perspectives on how to be a qualified well-rounded designer. Being in OSU Design helps him to explore beyond his comfort zone, leading him to develop his own specialization. Once he realized which areas he needed to focus on, he began to research them more carefully.
