An electronic drone pilot and cargo custodian for blood and medical courier services

Descripción del proyecto

Un nuevo dispositivo para garantizar que las entregas médicas mediante drones se produzcan sin problemas

Hasta ahora, para el transporte de vacunas, medicamentos y otros productos médicos, se han utilizado ampliamente helicópteros y vehículos. El uso de drones está empezando a despegar para abordar las limitaciones de las formas de transporte tradicionales. Para fomentar el futuro uso de los drones en sanidad, el proyecto ADRONE4LIFE, financiado con fondos europeos, está desarrollando un dispositivo inteligente que mejore la seguridad en los sistemas de telemedicina basados en drones. El dispositivo es flexible, modular y adaptable, y garantiza y supervisa las condiciones del cargamento médico del dron, ya sea de bolsas de sangre o un suero antiveneno. También podrá controlar automáticamente el recorrido del vuelo del dron para garantizar la llegada segura y a tiempo al destino, evitando las condiciones climatológicas adversas.

Objetivo

On a daily basis, urgent transport for blood bags, hemocomponets, medical goods and other indispensable health needs are required all over the world. Current emergency transportation for medical needs, a market that will reach $93,2 Billion in 2021 needs a technological upgrade. The actual delivery process involves long waiting time, depends on a specialized driver and has to be delivered by road, or, when extremely necessary, by helicopter, both alternatives represent high direct and indirect costs (up to 2000€) that have to be faced by the medical facilities, the government and the citizens, while every minute lost could potentially endanger patient’s life.
ABzero is a start-up that operates in the field of design and production of technological tools, specially focus in the healthcare sector. Created in 2017 in order to face current deficiencies in the healthcare system by giving the community an innovative solution adapted to the latest technologies. As a spin-off of Scuola Superiore Sant´Anna, ABzero have access to their state of the art BioRobotic laboratory and the latest research studies in both, the technological and medical field.
ADrone4Life is capable of facing current high cost, long delivery time and deficiencies in the emergency transport for medical needs. This smart case is flexible and modular, able to adapt, guarantee and monitor its cargo conditions, such as blood bags and samples, organs or any other health need at any time while automatically control whichever latest technology drone it is attached to, in order to swiftly reach its required destination overcoming any weather condition. This innovation will offer a 80% time reduction compared current delivery time and 99% cost reduction translated into more than 2000€ savings for each delivery with no CO² emissions. The company will benefit from an accumulated revenue of €15.045.000 and a total operational cash flow of €6.341.000 by 2024, creating 29 new job opportunities.
