Detailed Description

Organ transplantation offers a lifeline to patients with severe medical conditions, but its success depends not only on skilled surgical teams but also on the rapid and reliable transport of donated organs. With demand far exceeding supply, traditional road and air transport methods—limited by delays and logistical challenges—can jeopardise organ viability, especially for those with very short preservation windows. This growing urgency calls for a major shift in transportation approaches. Drone technology presents a transformative solution by enabling faster, more efficient, and obstacle-free delivery of organs. This project explores how integrating drones into the organ transportation system can overcome time sensitivity, geographic barriers, and regulatory challenges, ultimately creating a novel Organ Transportation Drone model that improves delivery efficiency, enhances transplant success, and helps bridge the widening gap between organ supply and demand.
