An Initial Investigation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Real-Time Organ Status Measurement for Transporting Human Organs

An Initial Investigation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Real-Time Organ Status Measurement for Transporting Human Organs

Author(s)3: Joseph R. Scalea, Stephen Restaino, Matthew Scassero, Gil Blankenship, Stephen T. Bartlett, Norman Wereley
An Initial Investigation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Real-Time Organ Status Measurement for Transporting Human Organs 780 435 IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine (JTEHM)

      Organ transportation has yet to be substantially innovated. If organs could be moved by drone, instead of ill-timed commercial aircraft or expensive charter flights, lifesaving organs could be transplanted…
