Every day drones demonstrate their versatility of use in as diverse fields as possible.
One area that has gained ground over time is the autonomous transport of goods, and this time it is the turn of medical devices. If Uruguay started testing last month, now the United States is doing the same: Private Health Network ohiohealth has recently announced its alliance zipline For delivery of prescriptions, lab samples, and supplies between facilities and patients’ homes.
It is expected that by 2025, the association will have created an initial network capable of reaching two million people in the Greater Columbus area. For now, it is believed that it will improve the healthcare experience due to faster diagnosis response time, direct delivery which will improve access to care. This also means that there will be a reduction in carbon emissions by around 97% due to its fully electric platform. On the other hand, researchers University of Pennsylvania Zipline’s delivery and logistics system resulted in an 88% reduction in in-hospital maternal deaths from postpartum hemorrhage.
Vice President of OhioHealth Pharmacy Services, Charles McCluskey III said the alliance “provides products to patients faster and at a lower cost, and uses less carbon-intensive packaging materials than our traditional delivery methods.”
On your behalf, Zipline’s US Health Care Practice Director, Hillary Brendzell assures that “time savings like this are invaluable at every stage of the healthcare journey and could mean people are diagnosed and treated faster, leading to better health outcomes. Our service is sustainable, It’s reliable and has already been proven to improve people’s health and save lives. It’s designed to be quiet enough to blend into the background of life.”
OhioHealth will use Zipline’s next-generation Platform 2, a drone-powered autonomous system (Zips) to make fast, quiet and ultra-precise deliveries to rural, suburban and even dense urban areas across the region. uses. Zipline’s home delivery service is expected to deliver up to seven times faster than traditional car delivery, completing a 10-mile (16.1-kilometre) delivery in about 10 minutes.
Unlike other drone delivery services, Zips fly more than 300 feet (91.4 m) above the ground and are nearly inaudible. When the Zip reaches its destination, it floats safely and silently to that height, while its fully autonomous delivery droid walks on a leash, heads to the right spot, and gently delivers your package to small items such as a desk. Drops in areas. The patio or front steps of a house.
