DALi Lab

Drones have lived significant technological advances and the evolution of the pillars of the regulatory framework, but the disruptiveness that their applications bring does not match the readiness of market and non-aviation sectors as well as the readiness and capacity of local authorities.

To address this issue, living labs can be a way to close the gap and involve all the real-life stakeholders. This is because they can demonstrate to actors (market and citizens) the real-life improvements of drone-aided medical services.

DALi Lab looks for developing detailed requirements for setting up the engagement and governance structure of living labs for drone-aided medical services. This will be achieved designing an action plan to set up a living lab during the project, including testing and validation of drone solutions (real flights and simulations) for medical services for a specific use case.

This will allow to provide guidance on how to develop living labs for drone-aided medical services by integrating drones on medical operations while safeguarding societal acceptance/embracement, tradeoffs and concerns about safety and security, compliance with medical protocols and the protection of individuals/patients as well as privacy and sustainability dimensions (e.g. environmental nuisance, social impacts, economic benefits.

The main objetive of DALi Lab is to provide guidance on how to develop living labs for drone-aided medical services by integrating drones on medical operations.
