A Dubai start-up is joining a growing band of tech firms developing delivery drones capable of transporting vital medicines to remote areas thanks to in-built temperature regulators.

Heating and cooling systems to maintain required temperature of payloads, a drone safety parachute and anti-collision sensors are features of the flying delivery bots built by Customised Drones (C-Drones).

The company entered the Dubai Programme to Enable Drone Transportation, a government initiative to explore drone use across the health, security, shipping and food industries.

C-Drones founder Mustafa Masri, said by offering customised drones the technology can be used by a variety of sectors.

These trips can take 45 minutes, so it is critical the temperature is controlled, we have seen this with the Covid vaccine

“This is not new technology in the delivery industry, but what we are doing in the medical sector is unique,” he said.
