Drones in Health

Abstract

A drone is a compact flying robot that can be designed to fly automatically as well as remotely controlled. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are drones that were first developed for military use in the early 20th century They were primarily used for functions such as target practice, surveillance, and explosives delivery. . Drones have proven invaluable in rapidly delivering critical medical supplies such as drugs, vaccines and life-saving organs to remote areas with limited access to healthcare. This capability can be used to improve the lack of access to health services, especially in remote areas, and to provide immediate assistance in emergencies and disaster relief operations. This study covers the various roles of drones in healthcare, focusing on their use in emergency situations, supporting telemedicine, delivering medical supplies and monitoring public health. Drones have played an important role in solving health care problems by providing remote consultations, improving the transportation of essential medical supplies and assisting in disaster relief.
