The\u00a0United Network for Organ Sharing<\/a>\u00a0(UNOS) has announced a new partnership with the\u00a0National Aeronautics and Space Administration\u00a0<\/a>(NASA) to\u00a0advance the\u00a0study\u00a0of\u00a0how drone technology could make organ transport safer,\u00a0faster\u00a0and more efficient.<\/span><\/p>\n

The partnership was officially launched on April 21 during a signing ceremony at UNOS\u2019 Richmond headquarters, beginning a joint effort to further\u00a0our\u00a0understanding of\u00a0how unmanned, unpressurized\u00a0aerial vehicle (UAV) flights affect organ viability,\u00a0and\u00a0explore\u00a0how this technology could\u00a0potentially transform\u00a0the nation\u2019s transplant\u00a0logistics\u00a0network.<\/p>\n

This work combines NASA\u2019s expertise in aeronautics and flight testing with UNOS\u2019 deep experience in organ donation and transplantation\u00a0to reimagine what it means to transport organs for transplant.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\nPour en savoir plus :NASA and UNOS to Test Drone Transport of Organs<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
