What are your main concerns?

We have identified how a network of aerial drones could transform how medical supplies are transported in Scotland and beyond. 

We are also aware of the challenges that medical drone deliveries could pose, for example:

• Noise pollution: perception that the noise is different, or loud, or annoying, or too frequent
• Visual pollution: perception that the visual impact of drones is too visible, or too frequent
• Flight safety: risk of a crash in the air or on the ground
• Privacy concerns: collection of photos or private data using the cameras mounted on drones
• Security issues: the misuse of drones by malicious people, or simply drone pilots flying in the wrong place by mistake
• Identification of medical drones: to separate them from other unknown drones
• Job losses, for example in conventional modes of transport
• Impact on the environment: global impact not only of electric motors, but also looking at production and lithium batteries 
• Yet another piece of technology in our lives: the concern that we do more and more activities via a smartphone or a piece of technology that we do not always fully understand or master.
