Healthcare innovator, Spright, joins the GEC in announcing Health@GEC

Spright

Spright, a medical aviation company, is leveraging their expertise in aviation and culture of innovation to bring drone-based, life-saving solutions to healthcare.  

As a Guinness Enterprise Centre (GEC) Healthcare Innovator, Spright has the opportunity to bring real solutions to healthcare partners. More than a drone technology company, Spright is an end-to-end service partner that develops and executes the right drone program that fits each unique business objectives. Spright is a division of Air Methods – the preferred partner for US hospitals and one of the largest community-based providers of air medical services, with nearly 40 years of air medical experience. 

There are gaps in access and care in healthcare, and Spright offers partners quantifiable results in terms of speed and efficiency, and to solve the day-to-day challenges of their unique business.  

Children’s Health Ireland, St James’s Hospital and its Academic Health Science Campus have announced a formal collaboration with the Guinness Enterprise Centre on Monday, December 5th. This collaboration centres on innovation in the health system, entrepreneurship & innovation training and clinical collaboration to foster optimal patient outcomes. Sprights President, Joseph Resnik, and Director of Strategic Programs, Steve Flynn, were speakers on the event panel as a client in the Health@GEC cluster.

More information about Spright 

Spright offers streamlined and sustainable solutions to overcome the everyday challenges of inefficient ground operations. With the use of drones, Spright can perform medical delivery services for hospitals and labs that would normally be reliant on ground delivery and transportation. Moving urgent supplies or blood samples could take hours or even days for a courier, but just minutes for a drone. Air Methods, Spright’s parent company, is the leading air medical service in the US, delivering lifesaving care to more than 100,000 people every year.  

Spright was founded to help solve some of the toughest challenges facing communities across the globe. They are a Global leader in fully autonomous, bidirectional, and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) end-to-end solutions. They promote healthcare access through end-to-end drone delivery solutions that minimize the day-to-day strategic supply challenges facing healthcare organizations.
