Strategic Use of Drones for Health Care and Disaster Management
Strategic Use of Drones for Health Care and Disaster Management
January 31-February 02, 2025
Program Coordinator: Dr. Suresh Munuswamy
Background
A robust healthcare system must ensure universal access, affordability, accountability, quality care and attention to vulnerable groups. Timely delivery of medical supplies is crucial for effective healthcare delivery. However, challenges such as difficult terrain, poor transportation infrastructure, limited cellular network coverage and adverse environmental conditions often lead to delays in the supply chain, potentially compromising the quality of healthcare deliveries. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have emerged as a promising technology to enhance healthcare logistics and transportation. With proven success in various sectors such as military operations, agriculture and food distribution, drones may offer a transformative solution for healthcare delivery.
Various countries have tested the competence of drones to transfer medical supplies such as diagnostic samples (tissues, urine and blood), medicines,blood packages, vaccines etc.
Drones are now accepted and sought after for their rapid, cost-effective and safe delivery of medical supplies even to hard-to-reach and tuff terrains compared to other air transportation systems.
Along with health care services, drones are used for disaster management also. Drones have proven their outstanding strength when assessing damage to facilities, houses, fields, and the likes after storms, floods and other disasters. Drones also provide concrete and clear evidence immediately after the assessment. Drones could also identify access points, survey temporary shelters and evacuation points. Drones can also help with crowd monitoring, network, communication support, fire, smoke detection, spread pattern, chemical and radiation detection, crime scene and accident reconstruction, conservation of wild animals, as remote park rangers, weapon and threat detection and active deployment materials for rescue if necessary.
Contents
Over a period of 3 days the program will focus on three perspectives:
- The overview of the technical details of drones, the compotents, operational, personnel requirements, standard operating protocols, license requirements, identification of taking off and landing sites, operational clearances, and virtual demonstrations of the process.
- Overview of the requirements from the health system and disaster management perspective including carrier box requirements, operational paremeters of the health care services, personnel training requirements, process documentation, appropriate sensors for disaster management applications and data post processing models for further insights.
- Government of India rules and regulations for drone operations and drone certifications.
