Description
REACHER emerged from observing the critical challenges faced by emergency medical teams in urban environments. The design reimagines patient transport by integrating a motorized stretcher system that transforms traditional patient transfer into a seamless, one-person operation. Every element - from adjustable seats to modular storage - enhances emergency response efficiency while preserving dignified patient care. The project evolved through extensive research into emergency medical services, resulting in a solution that combines automated assistance with human-centered design principles. The vehicle's intelligent architecture optimizes space utilization while maintaining essential medical clearances, setting new standards for emergency response vehicles. REACHER demonstrates how innovative design can significantly impact the critical "golden hour" in emergency medicine, where rapid response and careful patient handling directly influence survival rates.
