Jedsy Collaborates with TCS For Medical Drone Deliveries

Jedsy, the Swiss-based drone deliv­ery com­pa­ny, announced this week a col­lab­o­ra­tion with The Tour­ing Club Switzer­land (TCS) for deliv­er­ing med­ical lab­o­ra­to­ry sam­ples, reports a press release. In the rare event of an unplanned land­ing, the TCS patrol secures the drone and sam­ples. 

The Tour­ing Club Switzer­land, under the guise of its Drone and Ver­ti­cal Mobil­i­ty Acad­e­my (DAVMA), is “expand­ing its com­mit­ment to ver­ti­cal mobil­i­ty and, in addi­tion to drone pilot train­ing, is now pro­vid­ing oper­a­tional sup­port for an inno­v­a­tive drone appli­ca­tion for the first time,” explains the release.

Dur­ing expan­sion through­out Switzer­land, the com­pa­ny will over­see Jedsy’s oper­a­tions in case a dif­fi­cul­ty occurs whether it is an unplanned land­ing due, for exam­ple, to air traf­fic. The patrollers ensure the safe­ty of the drone after land­ing and, if nec­es­sary, trans­port the med­ical pay­load safe­ly to the near­est lab­o­ra­to­ry.

Her­bert Weirather, Founder of Jedsy, com­ment­ed, “Secur­ing freight via the TCS is an impor­tant scal­ing fac­tor for us. This ensures a nation­wide solution.”Jürg Wit­twer, Direc­tor Gen­er­al of TCS, added, “With this coop­er­a­tion we can com­bine our exper­tise in road­side assis­tance with the area of ver­ti­cal mobil­i­ty. We already run the largest drone pilot school in Switzer­land and thus com­ple­ment our ser­vices.”

The TCS and its mobil­i­ty acad­e­my have tak­en on an inter­na­tion­al pio­neer­ing role in drone ser­vices with the found­ing of the TCS Drone and Ver­ti­cal Mobil­i­ty Acad­e­my (DAVMA) based in Bern, on behalf of the Fédéra­tion Inter­na­tionale de l’Automobile (FIA). Found­ed in 2022, the aim of DAVMA, is to act as a busi­ness devel­op­er, think tank and coop­er­a­tor to advise and sup­port the 244 mem­ber organ­i­sa­tions of the FIA as they enter the new Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty sec­tor.

Mean­while, Jedsy will be expand­ing over the next sev­er­al years with the Dr. Risch Group, whose core com­pe­tence is lab­o­ra­to­ry med­ical diag­nos­tics. The group has 24 sites in Switzer­land and Liecht­en­stein.

Jedsy has devel­oped an inno­v­a­tive tech­nol­o­gy that allows a car­go drone to land pre­cise­ly on a win­dow dock­ing sta­tion. The “win­dow-to-win­dow” sys­tem enables the effi­cient trans­port of all kinds of med­ical sam­ples on a direct route and with­out traf­fic. The first routes for deliv­er­ies of med­ical lab­o­ra­to­ry sam­ples are already being flown in east­ern Switzer­land.
