The University of Cincinnati has invented a new telehealth drone to improve access to medical services regardless of location.
Inventors Victoria Wangia-Anderson, Manish Kumar, Seung-Yeon Lee and Debi Sampsel from three colleges at UC collaborated to develop a semi-autonomous prototype that can be dispatched right to people’s homes. The drones are big enough to carry medicine or medical supplies but small enough to maneuver the tight confines of a home using navigational algorithms developed by UC engineers.

Eight students have been elected to serve as senator-at-large for Undergraduate Student Government (SG) during the 2021-22 academic year.Â
There were a total of 13 candidates who ran for the position. Of those, 11 were candidates of color and 6 were women-identifying candidates, said Election Facilitation Committee Chair (EFC) Sarvani Vemuri during a Friday meeting.Â
Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, elections and campaigning for SG were done entirely online.
