The article “Drones May Become ‘The Next Big Thing’ In Healthcare Delivery” by Sai Balasubramanian (Jan 2022), suggests how drones can help to improve healthcare. Drone is an unmanned aircraft that can be controlled remotely or fly autonomously using flight plan software. It can do many things without risking the pilot's life and is often seen in aerial and military use. Nowadays, drones are widely available and play many essential roles in modern society. Among its usage, drones can be used for search and rescue, videography, and delivery services. In terms of features, drones consist of various types of cameras, navigation systems, artificial intelligence, and sensors. The cameras installed on the drones can have high-performance, zoom, gimbal Steadicam, and tilt capabilities. A navigation system such as GPS can help the user or artificial intelligence (AI) to navigate the drone to its destination and locate it when any accident should have happened. Drones can also be equipped with various types of sensors such as ultrasonic, laser, or lidar distance sensors, stabilization, and orientation sensors to prevent the drone from crashing. With the help of the features embedded in the drones, they can travel a long distance efficiently, quickly, and accurately. The drones' capabilities are huge, leading innovators to implement them in the healthcare department. Drones can help greatly improve healthcare capabilities by making healthcare widely accessible to people with needs, preventing viruses from spreading, and saving people's lives.
