In a groundbreaking advancement for healthcare logistics, in collaboration with TechEagle, Apollo Hospitals has introduced India’s first 10-minute Diagnostic Drone Delivery (D3) service. Dr. Sangita Reddy, the Joint Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals, launched this innovative service at THIT 2025. It is set to redefine medical sample transportation and significantly reduce delays in diagnostics and treatment.
One of the critical challenges in cancer detection is the time taken to transport liquid biopsy samples from collection centers to diagnostic laboratories. Traditional methods often result in prolonged transit times, which can delay early detection and subsequent treatment. The newly introduced D3 service seeks to address this issue by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI)-powered autonomous drones capable of delivering biopsy samples within just 10 minutes.

Revolutionizing Healthcare Logistics

TechEagle’s cutting-edge drone technology ensures swift, secure, and reliable transportation of crucial medical samples. Vikram Singh Meena, Founder & CEO of TechEagle, emphasized the importance of speed in healthcare logistics, stating, “In an era where food and e-commerce deliveries happen in minutes, medical logistics should not lag. The introduction of AI-powered drones in healthcare delivery will help ensure that crucial biopsy samples reach labs quickly, making timely cancer detection and treatment possible.”

The integration of drone-based transportation into the healthcare system is expected to enhance efficiency significantly while maintaining safety and reliability. The service is fully autonomous, equipped with AI-driven route optimization, real-time tracking, and 5G-enabled connectivity, ensuring seamless operations without human intervention.
A Vision for the Future of Medical Logistics
Dr. Sangita Reddy, while unveiling the service, highlighted the global success of drone logistics in healthcare. She noted that many African nations have already implemented drone-based medical deliveries with great success. She further stated, “This is just the beginning. Drones have the potential to be used for organ transport, emergency medical deliveries, and much more. The future of healthcare is faster, safer, and more efficient.”
Beyond healthcare, TechEagle’s autonomous drones are also making strides in industries such as e-commerce, retail, and supply chain logistics. Their AI-driven technology is designed to facilitate 24/7 operations, enhancing efficiency across multiple sectors. Key applications include:
- Healthcare: Rapid transport of medical samples and medicines to hospitals and clinics.
- E-Commerce & Quick Commerce: Enabling faster last-mile deliveries.
- Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) & Retail: Streamlining supply chains for high-speed deliveries.
- Logistics & Supply Chain: Optimizing the movement of goods with autonomous technology.
