Drone Delivers Lifesaving Kidney for Transplant Patient in World First Digital Trends

Drone technology is increasingly proving itself across a variety of industries, including the medical field where the machine's ability to be quickly deployed and move at speed across urban areas for vital deliveries can be a literal lifesaver. In what's believed to be a world first, researchers at the University of Maryland this week announced the successful transportation of a kidney for a woman needing a transplant. "This whole thing is amazing," the unnamed patient said. "Years ago, this was not something that you would think about." Following the successful operation, the 44-year-old Baltimore resident was discharged from hospital on Tuesday.
