Logistics (Medicine Delivery and Healthcare)

Drones have already started making impact by delivering medicines and medical emergency kits to areas hit by disasters. This small yet significant success has opened up multiple venues in healthcare where drones can contribute significantly by playing timely logistics role.

Vaccines, medicines and emergency supplies can be supplied directly by the drones on ground zero that is affected by life-threatening communicable diseases vis-à-vis COVID-19. Such logistics support by the drones can quash the outbreaks and ensure that this medical emergency is localised.

Imagine small indoor drones delivering medicine on patient bedside from the local pharmacy. Nurses and pharmacists collaborate efficiently by use of such drones. These drones could also provide medications to people at home in lieu of hospitals

Sample Collection From patient at home

One scenario where the drones can really speed up the process is by aiding the sample collection from the home patient and quickly delivering it to the test lab. Today the nursing assistant who collects samples , has to deliver them to the lab via conventional transport which is subject to traffic jams, halts and human fatigue.

Drones can make it possible! Be it delivery of blood from the blood bank to hospitals, vaccines or snake bit serums to remote / rural areas, the drones have the ability to provide vital medical support that demands response within minutes. These minutes could be the difference between life and death.
