Healthcare Solutions
Improving access to care
Modern medicine is only effective when care is accessible to those in need. Unfortunately, rural and remote communities around the globe often do not have timely access to critical medical resources. In the U.S., a vast, complex, and diverse for-profit healthcare system creates logistical challenges that can constrain local resources and create inefficiencies that drive up costs.
Spright enables healthcare access and minimizes supply challenges through drone delivery solutions tailored specifically for hospitals, clinics, and laboratories.

CURRENT HEALTHCARE CHALLENGES
Supply chain issues
There is a vital need to overcome supply chain challenges to keep medical supplies and specimens moving across healthcare networks. This includes clinical supplies (blood, vaccines, medications), lab supplies (tissue and blood samples, diagnostic reagents), and pharmacy supplies (vaccines, medicines).
Supply chain issues, high costs, and driver shortages are delaying movement of critical goods between facilities, limiting the efficiency of shared and centralized supply inventories and courier models.
