On June 19, the Can Ruti Campus will host the Health Drone Day, an event that promises to transform the transport of biological samples in the Northern Metropolitan Health Region. This initiative is driven by the TIC Salut Social Foundation in collaboration with key partners such as the Telecommunications and Information Technology Center, T-Systems, and the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital.
The event will focus on presenting the results of an innovative proof of concept for using drones to transport samples between the CAP Sant Fost – Martorelles and the Clinical Laboratory of the Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital. This marks a milestone in Catalonia as it is the first test of its kind in a suburban environment. This project is part of a broader research initiative that began in 2023, with preliminary trials conducted in the Garrotxa region, where promising results have already been obtained.
The report to be presented during the event highlights significant achievements: transportation time has been reduced by 72.3%, and there has been a remarkable reduction in CO₂ emissions, reaching an impressive 99.2%. Additionally, the preanalytical quality of the samples has been maintained at clinically acceptable levels, particularly showcasing results in serum glucose.
Despite existing regulatory, logistical, and infrastructural barriers, these results underscore the potential of drones as an effective, safe, and sustainable alternative for healthcare transport in Catalonia. The day will include technical presentations and roundtable discussions that will promote debate on the future of emerging technologies in the field of healthcare transportation.
