Apian on the Drone Radio Show! Integrating Healthcare and Drones

Apian Aero: Drones Serving the UK’s Healthcare Network

Don’t miss Apian on the Drone Radio Show, as host Randy Goers and guest Louisa Smith discuss the integration of healthcare and drones, and the future of on-demand delivery of medicines and supplies.  Listen here:

Louisa Smith is Chief Aviation Officer at Apian, a healthcare logistics company founded by a team of National Health Service doctors in the United Kingdom. The Apian platform integrates both healthcare and aviation systems, creating a fully autonomous, on-demand delivery system that improves patient health outcomes and staff well-being.  The autonomous drone delivery service will provide timely access to prescriptions, wound care, and other frequently needed medical products.  In the long term, this could allow healthcare providers to reduce the number of canceled procedures, and thus decrease wait times.

Before joining Apian, Louisa was the Head of Research and Development at National Air Traffic Service and a former Military Air Traffic Control Officer, she is now bringing her aviation knowledge and experience to Healthcare.  In this episode of the Drone Radio Show, Louisa talks about the efforts of Apian to develop drone delivery services for the National Health Service in the United Kingdom.
