After launching a competitive online pharmacy, Amazon is taking the sales operation to the next level with a drone delivery service that will get a patient’s meds to them within an hour of when they are ordered.
Ordinarily possible only for hospital inpatients, the drone delivery system will ensure a continuity of care that will help patients get 24/7 care from Amazon clinics that address 35 different conditions.
“Perhaps the only thing more impressive than the technology itself is the significant value addition this service will bring to patients … “Now, with drone delivery for medications, Amazon has taken the convenience factor one step further … by using the broader Amazon health care ecosystem, patients can potentially get diagnosed with a condition via one of the above-mentioned clinical services and receive their medication via drone delivery 60 minutes later.”
