New technologies in health sustainability in vulnerable areas inspired by the qualities of bees
Keywords:
artificial intelligence, drones, IoT, sustainable medicineAbstract
The distribution of medicines in rural, isolated, or disaster-affected areas represents one of the logistical challenges facing healthcare systems. In response to this problem, an initiative based on the development of bee-inspired drones is proposed. The objective is to create an efficient, autonomous, and sustainable medical transport network within the healthcare system. Methodologies used included a literature review, qualitative analysis, and deductive research. The results show that these medical pollinating drones will combine advanced technology with biological design principles, offering an innovative solution to improve access to vital treatments and supplies
