Today, Hangzhou Antwork Technology Co., Ltd. and Guangzhou Kingmed Diagnostics Group Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation agreement, held the first flight ceremony in Guangzhou and Hangzhou simultaneously, and officially launched the drone delivery sample cold chain delivery business. Starting from Guangzhou and Hangzhou, the business will gradually cover tens of thousands of medical institutions nationwide with the medical examination service network of Kingmed Diagnostics. Leon Zhao, co-founder and chief operating officer of Antwork Technology, Yuqiao Ren, strategic director, Yaoming Liang, chairman of Kingmed Diagnostics, Jiangtao Xie, vice president of Kingmed Diagnostics, etc. attended the signing ceremony.




With this cooperation, the two sides will apply drone delivery technology to biological sample and cold chain delivery services, and use scientific and technological means to upgrade the "instant information interconnection" between laboratories and medical institutions to "instant sample interconnection", greatly improving the transportation efficiency.



Kingmed Diagnostics is a leading enterprise in China's third-party medical inspection industry. Its inspection business accounts for more than 30% of the domestic market share, serving more than 23000 medical institutions, and its business network covers all provinces. The rich business network resources of Kingmed Diagnostics are good soil for the development of drone delivery business. At the same time, drone delivery is also an innovative solution to upgrade the traditional medical cold chain delivery technology.



Antwork Technology and Kingmed Diagnostics have carried out half a year's discussion and internal test. After deep running in, they decided to promote the deep integration of drone delivery and tripartite medical examination in a larger scope. The companies of both sides have formed ten million level commercial projects.



The scale of the third-party medical inspection industry is over 10 billion, accounting for 5% to 10% of the whole medical inspection market (30% - 70% of the industry in the countries with mature development of the three-party medical inspection), and has been expanded year by year. At present, there are more than 1800 three-party inspection institutions in the whole industry.

In the process of fighting COVID-19, Kingmed Diagnostics has undertaken the nucleic acid detection task of 31 provinces and municipalities and Hongkong and Macao with the strength of virus detection. As of the end of April this year, more than 65 million people have been accumulated and tested for the largest single machine in the world.


Antwork Technology is willing to share the market cake with national city partners, opening a new era of drone technology to assist biological sample cold chain delivery.



Jiangtao Xie, vice president and chief operating officer of Kingmed Diagnostics, said that Kingmed Diagnostics will join hands with Antwork Technology, a leader in the field of drone delivery, to explore how technology can help upgrade medical cold chain delivery services and build a new format of medical cold chain delivery.



With the strong support of Civil Aviation Administration of China, Antwork Technology obtained the world's first "city class" drone delivery license in 2019, and began the transportation practice of blood, test samples, pathological sections, emergency drugs, surgical materials and other medical materials. In 2020, the total logistics and distribution mileage of Antwork over 30000 km, serving more than 10000 patients, accumulating rich practical experience in the field of medical distribution, and forming an effective safe operation management system. Among them, drone sample delivery has served many medical institutions, and has been supported and praised by the national health department.



Leon Zhao, co-founder and chief operating officer of Antwork Technology, said in his speech: the application advantages of drone delivery in the medical inspection industry are very obvious. Now drone delivery has entered the third-party medical inspection industry for the first time. Antwork will fully exploit and utilize low altitude resources with Kingmed Diagnostics to help solve the impact of space distance on cold chain delivery. Accelerate the construction of low altitude drone delivery network in major cities across the country, and help laboratories around Kingmed Diagnostics serve 23000 medical institutions nationwide with the efficient distribution capacity of air space integration.



In the urban scene, the drone cold chain delivery service can be on standby 24 hours a day, forming a real-time delivery service that can be reached anytime, anywhere, and breaking through the impact of ground traffic. In the most difficult period of anti COVID-19 in 2020, drone delivery realizes the contactless, fast and safe transportation of samples, and effectively improves the pressure of sample transmission in hospitals.


Drone sample delivery is also suitable for remote areas, which eliminates the work burden of sample delivery personnel in remote areas, makes convenient medical inspection service benefit more primary medical institutions and local people, and effectively promotes the sinking of high-quality medical inspection resources.
