Ypres (Eurotoday): The Jan Yperman Hospital in Ypres uses drones for blood sample delivery, reducing transport time to 14 minutes. Director Caroline Gheysen emphasizes improved efficiency and patient care through this innovation.
The Jan Yperman Hospital in Ypres uses drones to deliver blood samples quickly. Instead of relying on cars, the drones transport samples from the hospital in Diksmuide directly to the lab in Ypres. This new method enables a fast delivery process, allowing faster test results and better patient care.
How is the Jan Yperman Hospital using drones to enhance patient care in Ypres?
According to Caroline Gheysen, the hospital’s director of innovation, the new drone delivery system is helping patients by reducing travel. Patients can have their blood drawn at the Diksmuide center without going to the main hospital in Ypres. The samples are quickly sent by drone, ensuring timely and accurate results. They mentioned that this change improves efficiency and convenience, especially for patients with mobility issues or those living far away. It shows the hospital’s commitment to using advanced technology in healthcare.
It has been said that drones make the journey in just 14 minutes, compared to longer by car. Geert Vanhandenhove from Helicus explains that these drones operate automatically. When they arrive, they drop the packages into a tube system that sends them straight to the lab without needing anyone to collect them. There are various types of drones for different needs, some weighing 21 kilos and others up to 95 kilos. The hospital plans to keep developing this system, which has attracted interest from the medical field and other sectors.
