Keller Rinaudo : How we're using drones to deliver blood and save lives


Keller Rinaudo at TEDGlobal 2017
How we're using drones to deliver blood and save lives  (transcript)
Summary
"How we're using drones to deliver blood and save lives".
This is a strange title. Everyone must think that drones can't deliver anything safely.
In fact, technologies and engineers' skills are really improving, even in Africa. It can bring drones having a simple paper parachute to a landing gently and reliably in the same place every time and it succeeds in Rwanda, in East Africa. The moment video was truly amazing.

In there, hospitals are in remote areas. A blood center has to bring blood to them, but there are no better driving streets to carry something, thus it takes too much time and high costs when people bring it there.

The more wonderful things are not to use the money to build other hospitals or streets but to understand this idea and it is not charity idea but it becomes the commercial business sustainably and extensively.
In the near future, children in there also can have dreams to want to help people.
It's because those children were helped by this system when they were born. When their mother needed blood, this sky ambulance carried it to them.

There are people (patients) who need the small idea in the world.
