Abstract
Timely access to blood products is essential in disaster medicine and pre-hospital emergency care. Natural and man-made disasters often render roads unusable, impeding traditional logistics. In such settings, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer a viable alternative due to their mobility and speed. However, UAV-based transport of blood transfusion bags introduces critical concerns such as maintaining optimal storage temperature, minimizing shock impact, and achieving precise delivery to designated sites.1,2.
