Summary

The Hospital Group of Territory Somme Littoral Sud, through its biology sector and in partnership with the company DELIVRONE, aims to engage in the experiment of transporting biological samples by means of a drone platform. Transport by air will be between the CHAM, the Abbeville Hospital and the CHU Amiens-Picardie by flying as much as possible over the waterways via the Somme. With a flight speed of around 100km/h at an altitude between 80 and 120 m, drones will be able to connect sites in less than an hour by transporting packages between 2 and 3 kg. Powered by propellers connected to rechargeable batteries, these drones do not emit CO2. This type of transport has not been validated in France by measuring the analytical impact of transport constraints for medical biology, and has never been evaluated according to the criteria of ISO 15189 standard allowing the certification of medical biology laboratories. Validation steps of this transportation method are therefore necessary on pathological samples prior to routine use.

The aim of the project is to validate the transport of biological samples by drone under defined flight conditions between CHAM and CHU Amiens-Picardie
