The article written by Balasubramanian (2022), "Drones May Become ‘The Next Big Thing’ In Healthcare Delivery", healthcare drone integration has the potential to change patient access to crucial medical services in remote and underprivileged locations, improving health outcomes and lowering healthcare costs. One such company making use of these drones is Zipline. According to Hand Wiki (n.d), Zipline drones are autonomous, and can fly between 80 and 120 meters above ground and at a cruise speed of 101 km /h to their destination in 45 minutes. Upon arrival, the drone descends at a height of 20 to 32 meters above the ground and parachute-drops the package. The drones comprise of an inner carbon-fiber frame and an exterior polystyrene shell. The exterior shell is made up of polystyrene which is a brittle material so that in the case of the drone crashing, it would break apart upon impact, dissipating energy and reduce the overall form of impact.
