ROME, March 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Drones have been
used in many healthcare interventions in these past years: for
example, they have been used in the fight against malaria or
to distribute medicines in remote areas. Now, DJI drones are
giving their contribution to the fight against the latest health
problem: COVID-19, better known as the Coronavirus.
DJI has pledged almost $1.5 million in aid to help contain
the outbreak of the virus, which has been spreading rapidly in
several countries around the world.
The Agras drones, originally designed for agricultural use, are
being used in China to spray
chlorine or ethyl alcohol-based disinfectants in potentially
affected areas. Targeted areas include factories, residential
areas, hospitals, and waste treatment plants, spanning over 600
million square meters across the country. Drones for spraying
present many critical advantages, especially in emergency
situations: they can be up to 50 times faster than traditional
methods while keeping operators in a safety zone. Drones are
simple to use and relatively inexpensive, making them an excellent
option in all situations.
DJI drones have also been used to communicate with the
public quickly: loudspeakers mounted on the drones have helped to
quickly diffuse messages in crowded areas. In particular, people
have been reminded of the best ways to prevent further spreading of
the virus.
Thermal cameras have also been used to monitor body temperatures
so that medical operators could quickly identify new potential
cases.
Drone delivery could be another important asset for
governments in affected countries, reducing the opportunities for
person-to-person infection while guaranteeing affected households
with medicines, supplies and food.
DJI has already demonstrated its commitment to using drones to
serve the public with its #DronesForGood movement. With its
contribution to the Coronavirus, DJI is showing new ways in which
drones can make a big difference in facing major problems around
the world.
Romeo Durscher, Senior Director
of Public Safety Integration at DJI, said, "Assisting on the
containment of a disease while ensuring safety to personnel was
very difficult to do in the past. This was a complete grassroots
movement. Users inspired us to take action, and it was worth the
effort. It embodies the DJI spirit, where anyone with the access to
these new tools can help improve their environment and help
society."
