Summary Draft 2 - Healthcare Drones
In an article titled "Drones May Become ‘The Next Big Thing’ In Healthcare Delivery" written by Balasubramanian (2021), discusses the use and benefits of drones in healthcare. The purpose of drones was first envisioned for use in the aerial and military industry. However, with developing innovations, drones have been integrated into the healthcare industry. It is implied by Balasubramanian (2021) that the compact design and efficient maneuverability of the drone provides an opportunity to expand care to hard-to-reach patients, potentially resolving significant access to care issues. The use of drones enables faster delivery of emergency medical supplies such as automated external defibrillators in critical situations to patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (2021).
It is also discussed by Balasubramanian (2021) that with widespread use of drones in multiple industries, large corporations such as Amazon and Google have invested into its research and development. This allows more applications of drone technology in multiple industries causing it to be mainstream in supply-chain, which will eventually lower the cost of drones. This eases the use and development of drones within the healthcare industry (2021). Therefore, it is likely that drones could significantly impact the healthcare industry, specifically in improving the transport of healthcare provisions.
