Draganfly Completes First Proof-of-Concept Flights in Drone Delivery Research Project for Mass General Brigham
December 18 2024 - 7:30AM
Draganfly Inc.(NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO) (FSE: 3U8A) ("Draganfly"
or the "Company"), an award-winning, industry-leading drone
solutions and systems developer, today announced the successful
completion of initial flights as part of a proof-of-concept,
research-and-development drone delivery project for Mass General
Brigham (MGB) Home Hospital.
This initial phase involved collaborating with
MGB and regulators to evaluate and map potential routes as well as
complete test flights that included takeoff and landing within
hospital infrastructure. These test flights did not contribute to
care delivery. This initiative aims to demonstrate how drone
deliveries could ensure timely access to critical medical supplies
or laboratory samples, thereby minimizing traditional logistical
delays.
Phase One of the project focuses on the greater
Boston metropolitan area to identify how Draganfly’s proprietary
drone technology addresses healthcare logistics challenges by
reducing delays caused by traffic congestion and outdated delivery
methods.
"This is a first step toward our vision of
someday delivering high-quality healthcare directly to patients'
homes in a more timely and cost-effective manner,” said Dr. David
Levine, MD, MPH, MA, Clinical Director of Research &
Development at Mass General Brigham Healthcare at Home.
"We are thrilled to see the progress of our
drone delivery services with Mass General Brigham. Draganfly’s hope
is to establish a transformation in how healthcare providers manage
logistics, enabling faster, more reliable delivery of essential
supplies that directly benefits patients and care providers alike,"
commented Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly.
Draganfly also participated in the World Medical
Innovation Forum, an annual event run by Mass General Brigham that
focuses on the latest advancements in medical technology and
healthcare innovations. The Forum, which ran from September 23-25
in Boston, MA, attracted healthcare professionals and leaders in
medical research and development to discuss and explore new ways to
improve patient care and treatment options. Draganfly displayed
various technologies used in the medical delivery project during
the event.
