Cleveland Clinic hopes to fly high by 2025.
In two years, the health system aims to send autonomous drones soaring through the skies of Northeast Ohio to deliver certain medications directly to patients’ homes, according to a news release.
If this comes to pass, the Cleveland Clinic would join the ranks of entities like the University of Akron and Amazon, which are also trying out drone or robotic delivery services.
Once launched, the program aims to service more than a dozen yet-to-be-determined Cleveland Clinic locations across Northeast Ohio. Deliveries could eventually include lab samples, prescription meals, medical and surgical supplies and hospital-at-home services that would be delivered via “automotive courier or ground delivery.”
The Cleveland Clinic has numerous hospitals and outpatient locations across Northeast Ohio, including Akron General and Mercy Hospital in Canton.
