Google has put almost the entire internet at the fingertips of its users, with just about any piece of information only a few keyboard strokes and mouse clicks away. Its parent company is now trying to create the same accessibility for medical items.
Wing, the drone delivery subsidiary of Alphabet that delivers items like beer and peanuts to baseball fans, extra balls and tees to golf courses, and food to hungry customers in bustling cities, on Wednesday announced it will launch its first medical drone delivery service in Ireland this year. The new network will deliver pharmacy items, laboratory samples, and medical devices and supplies between healthcare providers.
