A computer fault between Monday night and yesterday morning, Tuesday, caused slowdowns to the operations of the emergency room of the Hospitals of Asst Sette Laghi. The problem, the company said, affected the software dedicated to company emergency room. The technicians intervened immediately, in the meantime the emergency room activity continued even if they slowed down. After 11, resolved the failure, the situation returned to normal. Meanwhile, the technology continues to be the center of the attention of Asst seven lakes: in the hospital logistics sector, the use of drones for transport between the Circolo hospital and Del Ponte is studying. The logistical management and, in particular, the delivery of the materials between the corporate offices was one of the priorities of the Directorate of Asst Sette Laghi during 2025
The difficulties that emerged in the first months of the year also represented an opportunity to rethink the organization in an innovative key, both from a logistical and technological point of view. “We are evaluating the possibility of using drones for the transport of materials between the Circolo Hospital and Del Ponte – says the general manager of Asst Sette Laghi, Giuseppe Micale -. The idea is to use them in particular for the transport of drugs, but also of other materials whose timely delivery can make the difference, accelerating the care paths, especially for small patients”.
The project is currently in a preliminary phase of feasibility analysis, conducted in collaboration with experts in the sector. “It is not just about evaluating the economic and operational impact of the project – continues Micale – but also of verifying its concrete impossibility in terms of authorizations and air space availability. The complexity is high, especially considering that we are in the heart of a densely inhabited city, but this does not discourage us: we are determined to explore any possibility that can help improve the efficiency and quality of our services”. A test flight was recently carried out with a drone for the transport of health material between Malpensa Cargo City and the Circolo hospital, the future is in this service.
