THE USE OF DRONES IN HEALTHCARE: AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF CARE
Technology is changing the way we think about air transportation, offering new solutions for urban and suburban mobility. Among these, drones represent an innovative, quiet, economical, and sustainable means of transportation.
In the healthcare sector, drones can be used successfully for the transportation of drugs and biological materials, telemedicine and in emergency situations.
The use of drones in the medical field offers numerous advantages, including:
?- Reduced response times, thanks to the ability to quickly reach remote or isolated areas, especially in an emergency;
- Access to inaccessible or temporarily inaccessible areas, such as in the event of landslides, earthquakes, or floods;
- Providing telemedicine services to people living in remote or isolated areas.
It is predicted that the use of vertical take-off and landing devices in healthcare will become a reality within 3-5 years. However, to ensure the success of this initiative, it is necessary to establish a widespread network of vertiports, or surfaces equipped for the take-off, landing, and refuelling of drones, that operate 24/7 and are equipped with night lighting systems in compliance with current regulations.
LUXSOLAR, the C&E GROUP brand specializing in the production of obstruction warning lights and lights for airports and heliports, has developed complete systems for night lighting of vertiports to support the advanced mobility chain in the healthcare/medical field.
