£500,000 has been invested across five innovative projects in the health sector using drones for delivery of medicines and medical supplies.
Innovate UK, in partnership with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has announced the latest winners of its future flight challenge.
The programme uses drones to help build resilience in UK medical supply chains and help connect patients with healthcare services more quickly.
With domestic and international medical goods supply chains dependent on each other, supply disruption has also become more common.
