It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…a prescription? According to a recent Mahoning Matters article, the Cleveland Clinic plans to introduce a drone delivery service for prescription medications in 2025. The service will initially cater to patients in Northeast Ohio, delivering specialty medicines and prescriptions. The drones will use Zipline's Platform 2 system, capable of precise deliveries in urban areas and completing a 10-mile delivery in about 10 minutes. Docks and loading portals will be installed at several clinic facilities, and when a prescription is ready, a technician will load the drone, which will autonomously fly to a patient's home, deploy an autonomous delivery droid to drop off the package, and return to dock itself.
