Revolutionizing Healthcare Industry The Use of
Drones in Healthcare Delivery
In recent times, the healthcare industry has seen
some interesting innovations, such as the use of
drones. Drones have been incredibly useful in a
variety of healthcare missions, with the most
notable being vaccine deliveries during the
COVID-19 pandemic. That said, drone technology is
still nascent and healthcare companies wanting
to leverage the technology need the backing of
solid healthcare market research data about the
benefits, acceptability, and potential market.
For this, they need to consult leading healthcare
market research companies like Unimrkt Research
to take advantage of expert industry research
services. In this blog, we are going to take a
closer look at how drones are revolutionizing
healthcare delivery and the industry itself.

• Applications of Drone Technology
• Originally intended for the military, drone
  technology is now used commercially in a variety
  of different fields including aerial photography
  and videography, mapping and surveying, wildlife
  monitoring, disaster management, agriculture and
  crop spraying, shipping and delivery. There are
  many benefits drones provide to the different
  industries such as saving time, resources,
  effort, and manpower, but most importantly,
  enabling access to remote and disaster areas.
• Real-life Examples that Solidify the Potential of
  Drone Technology
• The use of drones in the healthcare sector has
  been truly positive so far. During the peak of
  the Covid-19 pandemic, the World Economic Forum,
  together with the Indian government, launched the
  Medicine from the Sky initiative in Telangana to
  conduct 300 successful trials of fast vaccine
  delivery to vulnerable populations in a 12 km
  range within 18 minutes. This was based on the
  successes previously achieved through similar
  projects in Ghana and Rwanda.
• Drones have also been used to transport blood
  samples from rural communities to larger
  hospitals in studies conducted in the US and
  Germany. Notably, drones acted as first
  responders in a study by the European Heart
  Journal, helping deliver automated external
  defibrillators to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
  patients before the arrival of emergency medical
  personnel in 92 of the cases. In one case, the
  efforts even saved the life of a 71-year-old
  Swedish man. All such examples showcase a bright
  future when it comes to the use of drone
  technology. Healthcare companies can leverage
  such data along with their own healthcare market
  research to chart a way forward.
• How Drones can Change Healthcare Delivery
• Healthcare companies interested in drone tech can
  explore a wide range of applications with
  drones
• Medicine and vaccine delivery during pandemic or
  disaster situations, and even for regular
  supplies to remote areas.

• Diagnostics tests and their accessibility for
  communities through easy transfer of samples in
  a temperature and time-sensitive manner.
• Organ transfers by taking the place of vans, and
  even helicopters, with benefits such as
  ultra-fast speed and cost-effectiveness.
• Transfer of small healthcare devices like AEDs to
  disaster or accident sites.
• Transportation of hazardous materials as per
  hazmat regulations, minimizing the risk of
  contamination in transit.
• Final Word
• The use of drones can make a huge difference in
  medical care by helping to reach remote areas
  and speeding up deliveries, among other benefits.
  But issues such as security concerns and local
  laws still plague the new-yet- promising
  industry. Any company that wants to leverage the
  technology needs actionable healthcare market
  research data to strategize, design and market
  their products and services. Unimrkt Research is
