NXP Semiconductors revealed that Jedsy X medical delivery drones are made possible by its Trimension Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology. Medical supplies may now be delivered more quickly and easily thanks to Jedsy, the first company in the world to use delivery drones to land directly at windows or balconies.
Jedsy drones are made to quickly deliver life-saving medications and other medical supplies to urban or rural locations. They use NXP’s Trimension SR150 to pinpoint their exact location, allowing for more difficult operations like landing at building windows.
The Trimension SR150 is part of one of the industry’s broadest UWB portfolios, spanning automotive, mobile and IoT applications. The Trimension portfolio leverages short-range UWB radar, secure UWB ranging, angle-of-arrival data and more to enable precise location detection, as well as motion detection.
This makes UWB suitable for a variety of healthcare applications, ranging from occupancy detection and patient monitoring to asset mapping, access control and more.
Using innovative features in novel ways to save lives, the healthcare industry frequently leads the way in adopting new technologies. Many of these developments, like as fall detection in elder care settings and precise drone landings on building sides, are made possible by UWB technology.
Leadership Comments
“The precision, security and accuracy of UWB-based location or motion tracking offers a number of benefits in medical applications,” said Jerome Legros, Vice President, Secure Embedded Transactions, NXP. “Jedsy’s UWB-enabled drone makes it easier to deliver medical supplies directly where they are needed. In other settings, UWB could be used to monitor the patient’s vitals in real-time, without the need for intrusive cameras or equipment, or determine the location of an important piece of hospital equipment.”
“Jedsy is dedicated to ensuring that life-saving treatments and essential medical supplies are able to reach those who need them,” said Christian Bredemeier, CEO, Jedsy. “UWB technology has given the Jedsy X drone the precision required to be able to land where it’s needed – whether that’s in a rural field or on the side of a building in an urban city center.”
