Medical Supply Delivery

UAVs can be used to deliver urgent and precious supplies

Especially advantageous for DeliveringTo rural areas,Supplies that expire in short time To Home bound patientsTo offshore vessels

Example: Blood transfer to local hospitalsBlood is expensive and expires quickly — platelets and thawed plasma last only a few daysSmall hospitals can only stock limited amountsIn emergencies; Drones can save lives by delivering blood rapidly

Transportation of blood samples


Rwanda Drone Ports for Medical SuppliesLord Foster launched a proposal:

Delivery of Medical Supplies across RwandaDrones will deliver medical supplies into Droneports Droneports will provide local hubs for local Collection & Delivery Project Partners;

Afrotech, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)Norman Foster Foundation

ProjectPilot project is starts in 2016Specialist drones will carry blood and life-saving supplies over 100km at minimal cost3 “drone-port” buildings will be completed by 2020The drones will be able to cover almost half of Rwanda’s countryside

Haitian Earthquake Relief

After the Haitian earthquake in 2012, drones were used to deliver MedicineChocolateOther Essential Supplies


Medical Sample Transportation

Medical Sample test ProceduresMost labs only apply a single test to a sampleThen send it on to another specialist labThere is a strict time limit between tests

UAVs can prove invaluableDelivering samples between specialist labsIn both Urban & Suburban areas


Delivering Emergency Medical Aid

Depending on the type of emergencyDrones can carry necessary tools to incident sceneResponse time to an emergency makes all the difference

A Simple Example: An ambulance drone can get a defibrillator to a patient in 1 minuteWithin a 12 square kilometres (4.6 square miles) zoneIncreasing the chance of survival from 8% to 80% [1]
