Drones to supply European cities with healthcare
This spring, Airmour, a research and innovation project supporting sustainable urban air mobility (UAM) via emergency medical services, will gather opinions from the public and 13 stakeholders (cities, operators, regulators, research, businesses) on the acceptance and socio-economic impacts of UAM and its potential to support healthcare logistics.
The survey will engage over 1,000 participants in Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany. Its results will be published in June.
In autumn, the first real-life demonstrations of the EU’s "Horizon 2020" funded project, which will continue until the end of 2023, will be run to validate the research work. Transportation of medical products and personnel (via test dummies) will be tested in Stavanger (Norway), Helsinki (Finland) and Kassel (Germany). (ah)
