Applying Technology for Social Change
Developing Technology for Good
The Situation
In Southeast Asia alone, there exists more than 60 million people that continue to lack access to basic healthcare (medicine and vaccines). Challenging terrain and the lack of road infrastructure hinders the transportation and delivery of healthcare to the local people, especially in times of emergency.
This inaccessibility means that otherwise treatable diseases can easily become fatal, resulting in a stark difference in healthcare outcomes in these areas when compared with their urban counterparts.
Our aero-medical solution allows medicines ordered from hospitals to be delivered within the hour to community healthcare workers who live in these villages, resulting in improved health outcomes in these communities (higher immunisation rates, higher survival rates for emergency incidents like postpartum haemorrhage and venomous bites)

Developing Cutting-edge Systems for Peace and ComfortOur Mission
We build medical cargo drone infrastructure purposefully designed for solving critical logistics issues faced by rural communities, in a bid to bring peace and comfort to these people. Yonah in Hebrew means ‘dove’, which is a symbol for love, peace and comfort. This is the underlying purpose for developing these systems – to serve these oft forgotten communities and bring them peace and comfort by doing so. |
