My Riverina Futurist Prediction #10 is that……. by 2029, Medical Drones will be commonly used in the Riverina to pick up pathology specimens, deliver urgent prescription medicine from pharmacies, and……will automatically avoid other drones being used for crop information, security and other deliveries.
Medical drones are already being used in Rwanda, where Zipline is delivering blood and medical supplies to five hospitals. The drones reduce the delivery time from 4 hours to 15 minutes.
In Australia, drones could be used for emergency aid, such as after a cyclone, or in remote areas.
Drones also offer great potential to transport small items more conveniently than current systems, and can also be used internally in warehouses to locate items or to monitor processes.
As a Futurist, I study, understand and visualise the future based on over 1000 global trends and changes. I can then apply that knowledge, with you, to your current specific situation to provide a Risk Assessment, an Opportunity Scan, or Strategic Insights into the Future for you, your organisation, your business, or your community. I also understand the Future of Work, and what jobs will not exist in the future, and what new jobs will arise.
