alifornia-based drone delivery company\u00a0Matternet<\/a>\u00a0has launched commercial operations in the United Kingdom, the company announced late last week, connecting two Central London hospital campuses via autonomous aerial routes for the National Health Service (NHS). The deployment marks the company’s first presence in the UK and is being developed in partnership with British healthcare logistics firm\u00a0Apian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matternet’s M2 drone system is now transporting diagnostic samples, laboratory specimens, pharmaceuticals, and other time-sensitive payloads between hospital sites. The bi-directional routes are designed to move critical medical items in minutes, with the goal of reducing logistics delays and improving workflow across NHS facilities in one of the world’s densest urban environments.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\nPour en savoir plus :Matternet Begins Drone Delivery Operations for NHS Across Central London<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
