Abstract

Today's times are marked by fast-paced lifestyles, high demands and lots of stress. This is reflected in deteriorating human health and congested roads. Society has reached a point, where everyone wants to have everything instantly and we are adapting to it just to keep our place in it. To cope with all the rigors of everyday life, we are now increasingly being helped by various technologies that are innovating day by day. One of such is an inconspicuous but unmissable device - the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).This paper is aimed at exploring the potential commercial use of UAVs, as an important element in the logistics chain in healthcare. This chain is largely constrained by a number of factors, which may include the congested traffic situation and inadequate infrastructure. In this paper, attention is paid to the analysis of a concrete example of the use of UAVs in real practice.
