DDC ANNOUNCES PILOT PROJECT TO IMPROVE BLOODBORNE TESTING
Toronto, ON, August 13, 2018 - Drone Delivery Canada ‘DDC’ (TSX.V:FLT | OTC:TAKOF) is pleased to announce that it will be conducting a pilot project with the Public Health Agency of Canada’s (PHAC) National Microbiology Laboratory, to determine the feasibility of a drone delivery solution to improve access to blood-borne infection testing in remote, isolated communities.
Using DDC’s logistics platform, the development, prototyping and testing will be focused on a customized ‘Depot to Depot’ unmanned aircraft. Customization of DDC’s drone delivery platform for this program includes climate-control of the cargo, monitoring temperature and humidity and creating security protocols to protect patient confidentiality. If the testing and development are successful to the satisfaction of both parties, the parties plan to work with Transport Canada to implement a widespread Drone Solution to speed deliveries of blood tests in remote communities.
“We are pleased to be contributing to the Public Health Agency of Canada’s program to determine the feasibility of improving access to testing for blood borne infections utilizing our drone technology,” said Tony Di Benedetto, CEO of Drone Delivery Canada. “This is a unique and new application of our drone delivery platform that could result in significant health benefits in remote, isolated communities across Canada.”
