Multifunctional Cold Chain Container for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Transport

Development of an agile device that can deliver supplies to and from remote locations during public health emergenciesIn the context of emergency public health responsedrones could be extremely useful for transporting necessary supplies to remote or inaccessible locationsSupplies might include dry goodsbut would certainly include clinical specimensreagent kitsvaccines and other perishable goodsThese materials would have to be transported at appropriate ambient temperature in order to be utilized as intended upon reaching their intended destinationThe primary goals for this project are to increase the utility of drone transport of perishable materials by engineering a lightweight transport box that isAirtightImpervious to outdoor temperatureand Highly secureIn this waypatient specimensvaccinestest kit reagents and enzymes must securely arrive at their intended destination at ambient temperatureSince battery technology is rapidly improving as evidenced by current patent applicationsthis is not a specific aim of the proposal
