The NHS is going to use drones to fly blood samples across London to avoid the traffic.
Drone flights will mean the samples can be transported in a fraction of the time it currently takes couriers via road, officials said.
Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust has launched a pilot scheme that intends to drastically speed up the time taken to move blood from major hospitals in the capital to labs for analysis.
Usually, moving samples between Guy’s Hospital and the lab at St Thomas’ Hospital takes more than half an hour on the road.
However, the same journey can be done in less than two minutes by drone, officials said.
The research team also said there were environmental benefits to the switch in transport methods.
I am glad this came before drones topped with surveillance cameras and tasers. But the latter will come nevertheless, probably first in USA, Russia or China, I reckon.
Won’t make you feel any better.
But lasers on a drone as a weapon is not yet very practice. Drone would need to be huge. And bullets are just better for the weight.
Atm, closest we are likely to get is blue whales with lasers on the head.
I dont know about lasers, I am expecting tasers to come first or pepper spray
