Drones for Urgent Deliveries: The Trial at Niguarda Hospital in Milan
Published
At Niguarda Hospital in Milan, a trial is underway using drones to urgently transport medicines and test tubes. The drones are guided by professional pilots and make it possible to complete deliveries in a few minutes. This system can be very useful when time is important, for example when a laboratory sample needs to arrive immediately or a medicine is needed urgently.
The project shows how technology can support the daily work of a large hospital. Instead of using an ambulance or a van, which can be held up by traffic, the drone flies directly to its destination. In this way, test tubes can reach the laboratory more quickly and the results of analyses can be ready sooner.
The trial also serves to verify the safety and effectiveness of these deliveries in a real-world setting, with precise rules for flight. For now, this is a testing phase, and it is not yet clear when the system could be used on a stable basis. Experts will monitor the results to understand whether this method can be extended to other hospitals in Italy.
