Discussion

Analysis shows UAVs could reduce transit time by 90% in healthcare logistics, implying higher costs and operational challenges.

Transit time could be reduced by up to 90% when using drones, enhancing delivery efficiency in healthcare logistics.
UAV operations could increase costs significantly by 133%, raising concerns about the financial sustainability of drone deliveries.
Modeling in this study accounted for crucial factors including routing, landing restrictions, and payload constraints in logistics.
Increased drone usage raises questions about value versus costs, especially considering challenges like weather and supply chain limitations.

Oakey et al. (2025) studied this question.
