NEW DELHI: The integrity of blood components and parameters do not get compromised, and blood can be transported safely by drones, particularly in far-flung areas and difficult terrains, an ICMR study has found.
The feasibility study to evaluate the efficiency and sustainability of drone-based delivery of blood saw the drone travel around 36 km in eight minutes, while a van took around 55 minutes to cover the same distance.
The study titled “Adopting drone technology for blood delivery: a feasibility study to evaluate its efficiency and sustainability” tried to determine how drone delivery impacts the quality and stability of blood components after transport, compared to traditional delivery methods.
