Adopting drone technology for blood delivery: a feasibility study to evaluate its efficiency and sustainability

The present study was done to assess the impact of drone-based delivery on the blood components after the transportation and their comparison to conventional modes of transportation, also, to lay foundation for the successful and sustainable drone-based blood delivery programs. This study suggests that the blood and its components can be transported safely by drone following standard guidelines, which could be helpful particularly in determining blood in emergency situation and difficult terrains.
