Meet Mamabird - Flying Healthcare with Drones

Drones are conquering the skies and in many cases these unmanned aerial objects are more than just toys. Besides taking pictures from above, delivering goods is one key use case. But why should we just deliver books or all the other stuff you can get from amazon an co! Let's think about use cases in healthcare and where drones would be a perfect fit for unmet needs.

With Mamabird.io we have a drone logistic startup as guest which is helping to provide access to quality health care especially for rural areas. Their competency is getting the last mile done. From the plenty imaginable use cases they are currently focusing on maternal and newborn health. This becomes necessary as one billion people are not only far away from any hospital but even without access to all-season roads. During their talk Mamabird is going to show us how they are using this fascinating technology in order to reach these previously unreachable areas. They will demonstrate what customization is needed to deliver lifesaving goods. They will also share their strategy of why it is important to especially involve women in this technological revolution.

After the presentation we will discuss in a few interdisciplinary groups several other similar use cases and concepts.

Agenda*:
18:30 – 18:45 Opening and Introduction
18:45 – 19:45 Pitch, Demo and QA
19:45 – 20:45 General Discussion and Use Cases
after 20:45 – Drinks & Chat

* The talk and discussion might be in English or German depending on audience and speakers

Everyone is free to join this event. The audience is the Health Hacker community (physicians, care givers, engineers, programmers and hackers) and both the medical and medical technology students of the lecture “New technologies and methods for the future of healthcare”. So we can analyze this concept from the medical as well as the technical aspect.

Looking forward to meet you all!

Cheers
