SOUTH JORDAN, Utah — Imagine a drone delivering prescriptions and over-the-counter medications to the doorstep or backyard of your home.
FOX 13 News got a first-hand glimpse of how this will work at Zipline's distribution center in South Jordan. Corry said they are in a pilot phase with Zipline on this project, which could involve pharmaceuticals going to a distribution site and then flown out by a drone to a patient's home in just a matter of minutes.
When it comes to the delivery process, Krieger says the patient will receive a text message once the drone is launched and will be able to track the entire course of the delivery, up until the point it arrives at their home."The drone itself has the capability of going in a 50-mile radius, but right now with the different FAA regulations, we're still in kind of a pilot mode," said Corry.
This is what Intermountain spends their money on after closing access to 20 pharmacies across the state? Makes sense 🙄
But Heaven forbid you get wine/beer of the month delivered to your door! What if a drone drops meds in the wrong location and a child gets a hold of them? Takes them and dies?
Utahns are over medicated.
