Medicine From The Sky: Telangana becomes first state to deploy drones in diagnostic and healthcare
In less than three weeks, a COVID-positive patient in need of an emergency medicine in Vikarabad, a town 75 km from Telangana’s capital Hyderabad, can order posaconazole or tocilizumab via drone and get it in an hour.
It is just like ordering double cheese margaritas on Zomato or Swiggy, except that the Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS) drone can travel beyond urban limits to save lives.
