Airbridge: Advancing drone technology to transform health logistics
What is Airbridge?
Airbridge specialises in developing advanced, autonomous drone platforms designed for secure, efficient delivery of critical healthcare supplies. Guided by unmanned traffic management (UTM) technology, Airbridge drones safely navigate controlled airspace, avoiding obstacles to ensure reliable, timely deliveries.
The system is designed to enable rapid, contact-free delivery of essential items such as medications and medical equipment, providing particular value for urgent deliveries to remote or hard-to-reach areas. By removing the need for human intervention, Airbridge’s solution has the potential to significantly improve the speed and efficiency of healthcare logistics.
