A Secure and Intelligent Drone-Based Healthcare Logistics System with Real-Time IoT Monitoring

Abstract: The rapid advancement of drone technology has enabled transformative applications in healthcare, particularly for delivering medical supplies to remote and emergency-affected regions. Conventional transportation systems often suffer from delays due to traffic congestion, inadequate infrastructure, and geographical constraints, limiting timely access to critical resources. This paper proposes a Smart Drone-Based Medical Supply Delivery System integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enable efficient, secure, and real-time logistics. The proposed system employs GPS-based navigation for autonomous routing, environmental sensors for payload condition monitoring, and wireless communication modules for continuous data transmission. A secure authentication mechanism is incorporated to ensure that only authorized personnel can access delivered medical packages. The system architecture is designed to enhance delivery reliability, minimize response time, and ensure payload safety under varying environmental conditions. Experimental evaluation demonstrates improved delivery efficiency and reduced latency compared to conventional methods, highlighting its potential to enhance healthcare accessibility in critical and time-sensitive scenarios.
