无人机织就“空中生命通道”：山东首条医疗无人机航线一年运送样本近3000架次

Core Viewpoint - The introduction of a drone medical sample transportation route in Jinan significantly reduces the time required for transporting medical samples, enhancing efficiency and safety in healthcare delivery [3][6]. Group 1: Drone Medical Sample Transportation - The first drone medical sample transportation route in Shandong Province was developed by Jinan Energy's Jinan Low Altitude Economic Development Group in collaboration with Pingyin County People's Hospital [3]. - The drone transportation reduces the sample delivery time from approximately 40 minutes to just over 10 minutes, achieving a time reduction of about 70% [3][6]. - The drone is equipped with a temperature-controlled preservation device and an intelligent obstacle avoidance system, which lowers transportation costs and minimizes the risk of sample contamination [5]. Group 2: Operational Efficiency and Impact - The dedicated drone route has successfully operated nearly 3,000 flights, significantly shortening the waiting time for medical test results [5][10]. - The efficiency of blood sample transportation via drone is reported to be approximately 70% better than traditional ground methods, addressing traffic-related challenges and improving emergency response times for critical patients [6]. - The initiative is part of a broader strategy to develop a scalable low-altitude economy in Jinan, with plans to establish over 100 low-altitude routes by 2027 [6][8]. Group 3: Broader Applications and Future Developments - Jinan Low Altitude Group has established a comprehensive air medical supply transportation network in collaboration with various hospitals, expanding beyond just sample transport [10]. - The city has launched the first low-altitude version of a ride-hailing app, "Jinan Low Altitude," facilitating easy access to drone services for both professionals and the public [6]. - The successful implementation of the drone sample transportation route serves as a model for future applications in logistics, inspection, and tourism within the low-altitude economy [6][10].
