"Hello! Now there is a patient with liver rupture in our hospital who needs 4 units of washed Rh negative red blood cells for emergency blood transfusion! The drone blood delivery unit has been notified to take the blood and deliver it immediately. Thank you!"

An emergency blood phone made this seemingly calm night suddenly nervous.



Since the drone blood delivery service was opened in Hangzhou in March this year, the demand for such emergency blood distribution has appeared several times. At the critical moment, the drone medical delivery route in the sky adds a life support for patients in crisis.


Up to now, the normal operation of drone blood delivery service has covered many medical institutions such as the second Zhejiang Medical Hospital, the second Yuhang hospital and the third Yuhang hospital, completed hundreds of shifts of blood transportation, and distributed thousands of blood units to various medical institutions.




Life support in first aid blood


In the medical scene, first aid blood usually occurs during first aid and surgery. Facing the limitations of urban traffic and geography, the drone medical route in the air has become a "green channel" for first aid with absolute speed advantage.




Prior to the use of air delivery, routine blood transport usually relied on ground vehicles. The ground traffic is greatly affected by the morning and evening peak and road conditions, which makes it difficult to obtain the timeliness guarantee for clinical blood use. Transportation by drone can not only shorten the transportation time, but also accurate the distribution time to seconds, so as to provide guarantee for emergency situations such as hospital rescue or other surgical blood. At the same time, the characteristics of unmanned driving can reduce more manual scheduling and management problems.


Medical emergency blood delivery by Antwork Technology can greatly improve the transportation efficiency, win more time for clinical patients, race against time, save more patients' lives and bring more guarantee for emergency medical treatment.



Efficiency artifact in daily blood use


In addition to emergency blood delivery, the transportation advantages of drones are also gradually highlighted in daily transportation.


Drone delivery is not only easy to operate, but also superior to road traffic in terms of economic cost. Through calculation, the average cost of drone delivery is less than the average cost of road traffic, which is a better choice for the construction of delivery system of current medical system.

From the perspective of inventory cost, large class III hospitals usually have a central blood bank for routine blood storage, but it also carries the pressure of inventory management. Blood products are very special, and they require strict storage and transportation forms, which means that hospitals need to invest a lot of management costs and costs.

The high-frequency and small quantity distribution model can more accurately control the inventory and reduce the waste of blood products.




In the process of artificial transportation of blood products, improper storage may cause deterioration of blood products, which requires good temperature control, safety and stability during blood transportation. Smooth air delivery avoids unnecessary secondary shocks and accidents, and ensures the safety and quality of blood products.

With the continuous enrichment of application scenarios such as blood transportation, medical community transportation and third-party inspection transportation, Antwork Technology is gradually refining the medical transportation network in the city, aiming to build an air distribution network eventually covering the whole city, give full play to the advantages of fast air delivery speed, high safety redundancy and low cost, and help optimize the allocation of medical resources in the medical community.
