Its cool and all, but to be really practical the suit would need some sort of powered exoskeleton and an intelligent control system. As currently built it requires the pilot to have considerable upper body and arm strength.  I would suspect that mountain rescue services might make use of something like this, but mostly for scouting; the actual medical services would probably come in the form of some sort of smallish VTOL vehicle, something that can carry a medical professional up and carry the victim down (a second unmanned VTOL, or the same one after the patient delivery, can retrieve the paramedic).
