Use of Drone Technology for Delivery of Medical Supplies During Prolonged Field Care

Journal of Special Operations Medicine

Background: Care of trauma casualties in an austere environment presents many challenges, particularly when evacuation is not immediately available. Man-packable medical supplies may be consumed by a single casualty, and resupply may not be possible before evacuation, particularly during prolonged field care scenarios. We hypothesized that unmanned aerial drones could successfully deliver life-sustaining medical supplies to a remote, denied environment where vehicle or foot traffic is impossible or impractical. Methods: Using an unmanned, rotary-wing drone, we simulated delivery of a customizable, 4.5kg load of medical equipment, including tourniquets, dressings, analgesics, and blood products. A simulated casualty was positioned in a remote area. The flight was preprogrammed on the basis of grid coordinates and flew on autopilot beyond visual range; data (altitude, flight time, route) were recorded live by high-altitude Shadow drone. Delivery time was compared to the known US military standards for traversing uneven topography by foot or wheeled vehicle. Results: Four flights were performed. Data are given as mean (± standard deviation). Time from launch to delivery was 20.77 ± 0.05 minutes (cruise speed, 34.03 ± 0.15 km/h; mean range, 12.27 ± 0.07 km). Medical supplies were delivered successfully within 1m of the target. The drone successfully returned to the starting point every flight. Resupply by foot would take 5.1 hours with an average speed of 2.4km/h and 61.35 minutes, with an average speed of 12 km/h for a wheeled vehicle, if a rudimentary road existed. Conclusion: Use of unmanned drones is feasible for delivery of life-saving medical supplies in austere environments. Drones repeatedly and accurately delivered medical supplies faster than other methods without additional risk to personnel or manned airframe. This technology may have benefit for austere care of military and civilian casualties.

Medical Drone a Life Saver in Emergency Situations (Organ Delivery Drone

IJIRAE:: AM Publications,India, 2024

This paper explores the emerging field of medical drones for organ delivery, addressing the critical need for timely transportation of organs to enhance transplantation procedures and save lives. Medical drones offer a novel solution to overcome geographical barriers, particularly in remote or inaccessible regions, by providing rapid and efficient delivery of organs and blood samples. By significantly reducing transportation times compared to conventional methods, medical drones have the potential to revolutionize healthcare logistics and improve access to critical care services. This abstract highlights the key benefits and challenges associated with the integration of medical drones in organ delivery, emphasizing their role in expediting transplant procedures and ensuring timely interventions for patients in need.

IRJET- Development of Drones for Delivery of Essential Medicines in Hilly Areas

IRJET, 2020

Throughout the globe, access to life-saving and critical health products like delivering of blood and organs to hospitals is delayed by the last-mile problem-the inability to deliver the needed medicine/blood from a city to rural or remote locations because of many such reasons such as inadequate transportation, communication or supply chain infrastructure, etc., To solve this connectivity problem, national drone delivery system needs to be created to carry urgent medicines to patients in need in Hilly and inaccessible areas. In a view, to find solution for this, we designed a drone that can deliver essential medical products such as blood and organs of up to 2.0 kilograms per flight with the cold chain system and has a flight time of about 30 minutes and above as per the requirement .The drone is conceptually designed. It is able to work autonomously. Also, it should be usable in emergencies, and disaster prone areas.

Drone: The Solution to Delivery Problems

International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2021

This proposed drone focuses on providing essential medical aids in rural or hilly regions where it is difficult to reach fast. This drone can be used during natural calamities like earthquake, flood and landslide. It will help to deliver medical supplies and lab samples. Moreover, blood samples will also become unusable after travelling long distances from hilly areas to the laboratories. It can be overcome by using this drone. It can give the real time video of the location. In India, due to heavy traffic the emergency need of blood and medicines are delayed, but this problem can be overcome by our drone. This drone can automatically travel the given path without any control from user. It can be also controlled manually during some obstacles or dangers at any time.
