InnoScot Health’s last webinar of the year will be spotlighting a true ‘Once for Scotland’ initiative which is pioneering the use of drones to deliver vital medical supplies. The NHS Scotland partner believes that its free ‘lunch and learn’ session on Project CAELUS (Care & Equity — Healthcare Logistics UAS Scotland) — funded by Innovate UK and developed by a consortium of 16 partners including NHS Grampian and the Scottish Ambulance Service — will be a fascinating look at the UK's first drone enabled medical logistics network. The webinar, entitled ‘When innovation takes flight — how Scottish drones consortium is transforming healthcare' will take place on Wednesday 26 November from 12-12.45pm. It will be led by InnoScot Health’s Innovation Commercialisation Manager Frances Ramsay and will feature a number of insightful guest speakers who have been integral to the project.

🌍 Cross-border knowledge exchange on medical drone transport This week, our EDEN-Medical consortium visited the Jan Yperman Ziekenhuis in Ypres (Belgium) for an inspiring on-site exchange on the integration of drone transport into hospital logistics. A delegation from our three clinical partners — Zuyderland Medical Center (NL), Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg (BE) and University Hospital RWTH Aachen (DE) — came together to learn from Yperman’s valuable experience with medical drone operations. During the visit, we gained exciting insights into their drone infrastructure, cargo port setup, and the workflow integration with the hospital’s pneumatic tube system and laboratory processes. The discussions provided us with key takeaways for our own cross-border pilot activities within EDEN-Medical. The exchange highlighted once more how collaboration and shared learning across borders are essential to make medical drone transport a safe and sustainable part of future healthcare logistics. Thank you to our hosts at Jan Yperman Ziekenhuis for their warm welcome and openness! #EDENMedical #Interreg #UrbanAirMobility #MedicalDrones #CrossBorderCooperation #HealthcareInnovation #AerialLogistics #FutureOfHealthcare

🚁 Drones in healthcare: Delivering medical supplies to remote areas. Imagine a community cut off from critical healthcare services, where help can feel like it's worlds away. With the advent of drone technology, that reality is changing! Drones are already transforming healthcare delivery in ways we never imagined. From delivering vaccines to providing essential medications, these flying marvels are bridging the gap between urban healthcare systems and remote populations. 🌍💊 In many rural areas, traditional transport methods can take hours or even days, but drones are flying over barriers to save time and lives. Consider this: a drone can deliver medical supplies within minutes, ensuring that those in need receive timely care. Here's why embracing drone technology is crucial: 1. Speed: Critical supplies reach patients faster than ever before. 2. Accessibility: Remote areas gain access to healthcare resources that were once out of reach. 3. Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces the logistical costs associated with traditional delivery methods. Let’s start a conversation! How do you think drone technology could further revolutionize healthcare in underserved communities? 🤔💬 #DronesInHealthcare #Telemedicine #RemoteCare #InnovativeSolutions #HealthTech

In a significant step forward for UK medical delivery systems, Solent Transport, in partnership with The Versapak Group and the University of Southampton has unveiled an insulated carrier designed for drone-based transport of pathology specimens. The project is part of Solent Transport’s Drones for Medical Logistics (DfML) initiative, funded under the Solent Future Transport Zone (#FTZ). The carrier passed rigorous tests this year to meet the International Civil Aviation Organization’s Packing Instruction 650 (PI650) requirements, which apply to biological substances classified as UN3373. This compliance is essential to safely move pathology specimens by air. https://lnkd.in/evBveyYm

It’s exciting to see real-world use cases like this emerge—and even more exciting to think about what’s next. Munson Healthcare’s pilot program in Michigan is using drones to deliver lab samples across a sprawling rural region, cutting down transport time and improving patient outcomes. As we think about the future of healthcare logistics, this kind of scalable, replicable model could be a game-changer for rural communities nationwide. #TechForGood #DronesInHealthcare #MobilityInnovation #DigitalHealth #SmartLogistics https://lnkd.in/gfU8gTZv

🚀 Progress may not always move at the speed we’d like, but this announcement is a clear sign that momentum is building. The conversation between innovation and regulation is finally aligning. The UK is cutting red tape, a real win for innovation and technology. Outdated regulations are being reviewed and streamlined to accelerate adoption of emerging technologies across public services. Through the new Regulatory Innovation Office and a £8.9 million investment, the government is making it easier for technologies, from drones and AI to robotics and autonomous systems to be deployed safely and efficiently. These changes are helping transform public services, enabling faster medical deliveries, remote inspections, AI-driven infrastructure monitoring, and more. What’s particularly encouraging is that many of the companies and technologies shaping this vision were present at DroneX Tradeshow & Conference | Part of the Uncrewed Tech Expo. By connecting innovators, regulators, and operators, sharing thought leadership, and fostering collaboration, they are already building, testing, and refining real-world solutions and turning policy ambitions into practical, scalable outcomes. #Innovation #DroneIndustry #FutureOfFlight #UncrewedTech #UAV #AI #Robotics #SmartCities #UKTech #RegulatoryInnovation #PublicServices https://lnkd.in/dzyT7ThR

💭 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 Validating the use of drones in healthcare logistics isn’t just a technological challenge, it’s a test of trust, coordination, and purpose. At DALi Lab, the Horizon Europe initiative we lead at ITG Technology Center, our team recently shared insights during a workshop in Naples, exploring how drone technologies can support hospitals, labs, and emergency services. Their discussions reflect something I’ve been observing for a while: 💡 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿. The next step is market readiness, social acceptance, and regulatory alignment. That’s where living labs play a crucial role. Creating real environments where all stakeholders (e.g. healthcare providers, logistics operators, and regulators) can work together to test what truly makes sense to scale. And here’s my takeaway: ➡️ 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 “𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱”. ➡️ The ones that succeed will be those that prove both 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 and 𝘃𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. Because in the end, business models will define adoption, ensuring that drone services are not only innovative, but also sustainable and meaningful for citizens. Innovation only matters when it reaches people, and that’s exactly what initiatives like DALi Lab aim to make possible. #HorizonEurope #Drones #LivingLabs #UAM #Innovation #Uspace
