MEDICAL DELIVERY DRONES: GROWING ADOPTION AND CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF HEALTHCARE DELIVERY

 “Drones are being used to combat the coronavirus in a variety of ways. Any of these applications are very dubious. Others are more important, such as the use of delivery drones. However, the use of cargo drones in the event of a pandemic should be questioned. Being more important does not automatically imply that all cargo drone ventures would have a positive effect.”

The current health-care system in the United States is a jumble of disparate elements (health plans, hospital systems, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers). We anticipate that by 2040, the patient will be at the forefront of the health-care paradigm. Interoperable, always-on data will encourage closer collaboration among industry stakeholders, and incumbents and new entrants will deliver new service combinations (disruptors). Interventions and therapies would almost certainly be more effective, less complicated, less invasive, and less expensive.

Health can be described holistically as a state of complete well-being that includes mental, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Consumers will not only have access to accurate information about their own health, but they will also own their health data and play a key role in making health and well-being decisions.

Drones in the medical sector

We are just beginning to understand how UAVs can be used in healthcare logistics, just as the Wright brothers did not envision the space shuttle when they built their aircraft. We're currently using medical drones to:

  • When time is of the essence, deliver emergency medications.

  • In areas where healthcare infrastructure is inadequate, provide life-saving assistance. The timely supply of blood supplies to women haemorrhaging during childbirth in remote areas of Africa can literally mean the difference between life and death.

Major Market Highlights: Medical Delivery Drones in various regions

  • Because of the massive population, Asia Pacific is projected to have the largest market share. In the coming years, the growing trend of online grocery transactions in emerging economies such as India, China, South Korea, and Malaysia will drive regional market development.

  • Currently, transporting dried blood samples from a healthcare facility to a lab for HIV testing takes about 11 days in most African cities. The results will take up to eight weeks to arrive. UNICEF led a project to use helicopter-style drones designed, developed, and programmed by Matternet to try to speed up HIV testing of infants.

  • Zipline is able to sustain a "cold chain" in Rwanda by supplying blood and pharmaceuticals to remote areas in a matter of hours. Drones drop small packages from very low altitudes as they arrive at hospitals. Simple paper parachutes are used to lower the supplies. The drones return to their base of operations.


Conclusion: Paving the way for healthcare with medical delivery drones

The initiative's next step will transform trials and testing into sky-based motion. The World Economic Forum co-organized a workshop with the State Government of Telangana at Wings India 2020, an event organised by India's Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Airports Authority of India, to bring together all important stakeholders to design a pilot project demonstrating the potential for drone delivery of medical supplies in India. This group is currently investigating how drones can aid India's response to COVID-19.

The Indian government's ability to build an encouraging policy framework for the use of drones to become commonplace would help ensure that the vast majority of the country's population has access to sufficient medical care. Recognizing the critical role that technology can play in the current crisis, the Ministry of Civil Aviation recently developed a special protocol for expediting drone flight requests for COVID-19-related applications via their online Digital Sky Platform. Initiatives in India and Africa will serve as a model for other countries to follow, helping them to develop a medical drone procurement system and bridge critical healthcare gaps.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS FOR IMPROVING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IN TELECOM INDUSTRY

 If you consider the customer satisfaction index, the telecom industry is probably one of the worst ranking industries. But that was only until 2019. By the end of 2020, together, the sector made sure to climb up the satisfaction rate. And guess what? They will be able to do that. However, it’s just the beginning.  The importance of customer experience is growing like never before. And one tool that’s helping telecom industries is the use of virtual assistants. Did you know that OTT platforms are eroding the revenues of telecom industries? With video-on-demand media, the consumers are trying to cut the cord even more eager than ever before.  However, things are changing. How? Let’s find out! Virtual Assistants Aiding in Better CX in Telecom: Decoding the Ways If the telecom industry upgrades its digital customer engagement scale, it can easily experience the upsides in terms of better engagement, services, resulting in boosting sales. However, telecom operators often don’t have the peo

E-HEALTH: THE BOOM IN DIGITAL HEALTH TO DUISRUPT LIFE SCIENCES AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY

  E-Health is an developing field in the intersection of public health, medical informatics, and business, mentioning to health services and data delivered or enhanced through the Internet and connected technologies. In the broader sense, the term characterizes a technical development and a state of mind, a way of thinking, an attitude, and a commitment for networked, global review, to recover health care locally, regionally, and globally by using information and communication technology. The 5 e's in "E-Health" Efficiency  - one of the promises of e-health is to increase efficiency in health care, thereby decreasing costs. One possible way of reducing costs would be by avoiding duplicative or unnecessary diagnostic or therapeutic interventions through enhanced communication possibilities between health care establishments and patient involvement. Enhancing quality  of care - increasing efficiency involves not only reducing costs but at the same time improving quality. E-

HYDROGEN STORAGE - A DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

  Excessive expectations have been met with disappointment in the past with hydrogen technologies. Nonetheless, a rising body of research suggests that these technologies are a viable choice for deep decarbonization of global energy systems, with recent cost and performance advances pointing to economic viability. The cost of producing, transporting, and storing hydrogen has decreased dramatically. This is complemented by an increase in clean technology regulations. As a result, we predict that hydrogen technology will gain traction, particularly in the transportation and alternative energy generation sectors. The transition to a sustainable energy economy needs an energy carrier capable of large-scale carbon-free energy transfers. Hydrogen is a sustainable energy carrier with the potential to benefit the whole energy sector. However, storing significant amounts of hydrogen is difficult. There are numerous obstacles to overcome in order to achieve a cost-effective hydrogen cycle. Hydro
