PARTNERS IN INNOVATION
International SOS and Airbus Helicopters joined forces in 2022 to leverage the global potential of both companies to support local healthcare providers and amplify the work of economic development agencies.
We focus on the emergency medical systems use case as a springboard for broader healthcare and transport applications; the demanding environment of EMS proves the viability of new solutions and offers high public acceptance.
With the combined aviation and public health expertise of Airbus and International SOS, LifeSaver creates adaptive Emergency Medical Systems (EMS) that improve patient outcomes and create business opportunities for healthier and more prosperous regions.
