Project spotlight: Dragon's Heart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Our Dragon's Heart project, funded by Innovate UK and the Department for Transport, has enabled us to develop a medical drone system suitable for carrying blood and medical samples across Wales. Working alongside our partners, this technology has the potential to transform how the NHS transports life-saving samples 🩸
