Abstract

Systems and techniques for delivery and medical support are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a drone delivery system may include receiving logic and communication logic. The receiving logic may be configured to receive a request signal indicative of a package request event proximate to a target device, wherein the request signal comprises sensor data indicative of conditions proximate to the target device or a request signal transmitted to the receiving device from the target device. The communication logic may be configured to instruct a drone to carry a package to the target device in response to the request signal. The drone may be configured to perform an environmental scan during transit to adjust a route to the target device. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Claims

1. A drone delivery system, comprising:

receiving logic to receive a request signal indicative of a package request event proximate to a target device, wherein the request signal comprises sensor data indicative of conditions proximate to the target device or a request signal transmitted to the receiving device from the target device; and

communication logic to instruct a drone to carry a package to the target device in response to the request signal;

wherein the drone is to perform an environmental scan during transit to adjust a route to the target device.

2. The drone delivery system of claim 1, wherein the receiving device and the communication device are included in the drone.

3. The drone delivery system of claim 1, wherein the package includes a medicine and the request signal is indicative of a damage event.

4. The drone delivery system of claim 3, wherein the medicine is a neuroprotection medicine.

5. The drone delivery system of claim 1, wherein perform an environmental scan during transit comprises scan for signatures of possible hostiles.

6. The drone delivery system of claim 1, wherein perform an environmental scan during transit comprises scan for a landing zone.

7. The drone delivery system of claim 1, wherein the communication logic is further to instruct a second drone to travel ahead of the drone and perform an environmental scan during transit.

8. The drone delivery system of claim 1, wherein perform an environmental scan during transit comprises comparing current environmental data with stored historical environmental data.

9. The drone delivery system of claim 1, further comprising route determination logic to determine a route for an emergency vehicle to follow to the target device based on the environmental scan.

10. The drone delivery system of claim 1, wherein the request signal is generated based on historical use of the package.

11. The drone delivery system of claim 10, wherein the request signal is generated by a computing device remote from the target device.

12. A drone request system, comprising:

condition detection logic to identify a package request event proximate to the drone request system, wherein the package request event is identified based on one or more sensor signals; and

transmitting logic to transmit a request signal indicative of the package request event to a drone delivery system, wherein the drone delivery system is to instruct the drone to carry a package to the drone request system in response to the request signal.

13. The drone request system of claim 12, wherein the package request event is a damage event.

14. The drone request system of claim 12, further comprising a delivery system to deliver a medical treatment to a user proximate to the drone request system in response to identification of the package request event.

15. The drone request system of claim 14, wherein the delivery system is to deliver the medical treatment to the user in response to a command signal from the drone.

16. A reconstructive surgery support system, comprising:

a memory storing a LIDAR scan of a portion of a patient'"'"'s body prior to a damage event affecting a contour of the portion of the patient'"'"'s body; and

a visual indication system to project a visual indicator of a pre-damage contour of the portion of the patient'"'"'s body, on the portion of the patient'"'"'s body, based on the LIDAR scan.

17. The reconstructive surgery support system of claim 16, wherein the visual indication system comprises:

feedback logic to change the visual indicator as surgical reconstruction is performed on the portion of the patient'"'"'s body to indicate a difference between the pre-damage contour and a current contour.

18. The reconstructive surgery support system of claim 17, wherein change the visual indicator comprises change the color of the visual indicator.

19. The reconstructive surgery support system of claim 17, wherein the surgical reconstruction comprises the application of a filler.

20. The reconstructive surgery support system of claim 16, further comprising:

surgical implement indicator logic to provide a visual indicator of a location of a surgical implement under the patient'"'"'s skin during surgical reconstruction.
