Technology is changing the way that medical supplies are being delivered, especially when it comes to areas that are isolated.
As technology develops, the use of drones for the delivery of medical supplies is becoming increasingly common.
In an announcement Monday, the National University of Ireland in Galway said the drone's journey between Connemara Airport and Inis Mór, which is part of the Aran Islands, showed "the possibility of future deliveries of this kind within planned drone corridors." Power added that the successful internet of things connectivity had enabled the flight, "to adhere to aviation regulatory standards and provides good evidence for further investigation into drone delivery corridor planning, as long range flights, like this one, can be mapped with our radio frequency network input."
In December 2018, Unicef announced that a baby on an island in the South Pacific country of Vanuatu had become the "world's first child" to be administered a vaccine delivered commercially via drone.
