- Keller Rinaudo wants everyone on earth to have access to basic health care, no matter how hard it is to reach them. With his start-up Zipline, he has created the world's first drone delivery system to operate at national scale, transporting blood and plasma to remote clinics in East Africa with a fleet of electric autonomous aircraft. Find out how Rinaudo and his team are working to transform health care logistics throughout the world -- and inspiring the next generation of engineers along the way

I live in Kigali and I have visited once this Zipline launch site. Everything work like magic. It's truly amazing what these guys are doing!
OMG! I´m a blood bank technician in Argentina, and I wish someday we could put into action such an amazing technology all over the country! absolutely amazing! congratulations!

Here's a video with more details about the process going on during the loading of the plane, and new landing/catching system. Their centers keep evolving
He is so passionate about what he is doing and wants to do further. God bless you man.
he's really humbled, but you can tell that he's really proud of the achievements from his cute laughter.
I love the look in his eyes as he speaks about it. He knows he's involved in something important...and digs it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: limitations are what lead to innovations. And I think Zipline is the perfect example of that, these guys are doing incredible work.
No matter how positive a TED talk is, there's always a ton of people in the comments that find something to complain about.
When cancer is cured, there's gonna be people complaining about that too, I bet.
Matt Roszak literally no one is complaining, what is your real reason for commenting this
@zak ryals That's no diferent from the rest of the world where people ants drones banned because they make noise and have camera. There's people like that everywhere
Phenomenal. Just goes to show a few things:
1. less red tape and things can happen - authorities are not shackled 'in principle'
2. we have the technology
3. the west is too hung up on privacy and 'oh your looking at my knickers' sentiments to embrace this tech.
Keller, If you are EVER looking to develop this in the UK, PLEASE get in touch, I am aiming to implement similar systems, create similar cultural vibes, and to generally make it happen. Would love to meet you in person, I'll keep an eye out for your world tour!
Wow! They are making the future bright and exciting while making their job look easy!
Fearless innovation! Love that zipline is making a difference in partnership with the people of Rwanda.
Wow! This is so awesome. Honestly this gave me butterflies in my belly. Good job humans
This is awesome
i would comment exactly that lol
It's absolutely amazing to do something that changes the world for the better. Hope these guys will succeed in other countries as well and people finally realize that we really need such initiatives.
This has to be the most inspiring and intriguing thing i have watched ...
"Entrepreneurship is the only force that has lifted millions of people out of poverty"
Looking forward to your expansion in Kenya
I have been working on a similar project and fully inspired by Kellers work ...and it can shown that it works ... SALUTE!
As an engineer, this is something I'd love to do, rather than sitting in a luxury office and coding for rich MNCs.
An inspiring innovation in Africa! That's very touching.
This was awesome. I read an article about zipline a couple days back.
TED its good to know that awesome technology asuch is awesome helping us, as easy,as fast, and worthy.... so so so happy,
I really loved this one. Great job!
this might be my favorite TED talk
Incredible ! Just amazing
You are a hero as well!
Good initiative 🙏🏻
Being in healthcare logistics myself, this idea has definitely been talked about. In more developed countries it's a lot harder to get the ball rolling on one of these things. Very impressed you guy have been able to make it work on such a successful scale. Looking forward to an update when you end up opening the 4 new distribution sites.
One of the most impressive group of inventors and entrepreneurs!!
This is so amazing! God bless you!
Absolutely life changing!!
Best TED talk IMO
this is absolutely incredible!
dang, it's 2023 now. Back in 2014 a friend and I tried building a fixed wing craft to do just this. Only we geared it for mail delivery and possibly crop dusting.
Love the concept....all the best...will keep following zipline
This is super impressive! Kudos to Zipline. I hope they inspire more innovation on the continent. :)
This is such excellent problem-solving. Is there ever a problem with weather or other factors that can affect flight? What kind of measures are in place to deal with disruptions of the system? (say a freak solar storm knocks out some of the communication infrastructure)
There is more information and an interesting FPV video from one of the drones on their web site. These things can fly right through a typical African thunderstorm without too much trouble, they navigate using GPS satellite signals, and the communications network that they use is the country's cellular system. About as reliable as is possible, all considered.
That's awesome. It seems like the use of these drones could expand to include all sorts of medicine delivery, and even food rations to remote areas... they might have limited range, but a different version of the same tech could be developed.
Check out the vid on Wendover Productions.
Seek for Zipline on RUclips to get updated information about them. This one is relatively old video and you will be surprised where their tech progress reached. They even use an emergency parachute system to save the drone during a flight emergency or dangeroussudden weather change.

this was a point I tried to raise in a MUN in 2016. I was the delegate of Rwanda in WHO. I also was ignored
Great job
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUUUL! Tears are coming down my cheeks right now as I look for any job I can contribute to you guys!
Wonderful job...
Super Sir.
I was in Rwanda last week. If only i knew about this, I'd have visited here!
Truly inspiring
Totally cool. This system also doesn't depend on roads, which are frequently impassable during the rainy season.
very awesome idea
Incredible 🙂👌🏻
Hopefully this great project will manage noise from drones, particularly near drone hubs. Also thought "market disruption" referred to illegally entering a market (eg ride sharing disrupting poor old licenced taxi drivers who paid $ for licences), rather than merely providing new technology. Engineers provide new technology everyday, with no market disruption required. Looks like the project has the highest levels of government approval to me, good work Zip.
This is awesomeeee!
This is awesome!
3:14 Best job in the world
That was awesome!!!
These have so many other possible uses too! Fitted with thermal imaging it could be programmed to do search and rescue location or look out for the start of wildfires.
Well this is cool
wonderfully great
at 14:38 , I almost cry.
Amazing!
Talking about purpose and serving mankind
Fantastic
pretty heckin cool
wonderful!!!
its just wow!!
Its awesome
great video
beauty and brains! can i use that for a man? this is great work. what an innovation!!!
Ok get this straight there are different types of drones. Lethal and non lethal. This is a video about how a non lethal drone is being used to improve healthcare and save lives. Stop commenting about lethal drones. It has nothing to do with this video.
That is great
alo lindo video deseo que prosigan haciendo este metarial¡¡¡!!! Voy a seguir mirando sus creaciones. Les envio un beso nos estamos viendo ❤️👍🏽
Great I am so happy :D
I think, Papua, Indonesia need this kind of things
We did it in PNG
exellent
Yay something would help humanity
awesome
It is awesome that shoot the drone. Maybe it can reduce maintaining cost.
You follow a fallen drone and see blood at the crash site. "...they're aLIVE"
Vampires will love this industry.
On a serious note, this is badass and I hope it doesn't get devoured and taken away instead of allowing it to flourish and be the building blocks for advancement.
This is so cool!!!how can I get a job over there!!!!
It’s like just in Time manufacturing
You use it when you need it
How do the drones handle rough weather ?
U r the hero of the world 🌎
just wow
?but what if the weather wasn't good does it affect the drones
Absolutely. I'm sure a lot of work went into the handling of special and unexpected circumstances.
someone is dispatched to the location that can't be reached that day.
That's still better than having the blood center at the hospital, risking not having enough when it's needed.
It's a major improvement
Wow
africa is the powerhouse of the cell... i mean world
Bring this to Libya please we need it
Nice
The drone really use parachute and launched from a pad? I thought so too. But I thought about intercontinental railgun and mass launch system. Amazed someone have tried such a similar idea. Though mine is about intercontinental flight.
good
what a dull audience lol.. I'd be clapping and yelling after ever sentence he said! this is incredible!
You ask me they should expand this idea and use it deliver clean water to rural areas on a regular basis.
Blood is high value relative to weight. Delivering water by air does not make sense.
can some one explain how it lands? it was not really clear?
Actually the presenter explained this at the end and showed clips but maybe you were rushing to comment and missed that.
If it's any help, here is another video that shows the system in full: ruclips.net/video/jEbRVNxL44c/видео.html
Truely speaking, we Indians deserve Nobel Prizes in Corruption many times over.
He's wrong about "Entrepreneurship" being our solution. He's forgetting that the Governments of those countries decided to invest and spend Taxpayer money on these contracts. Entrepreneurship is a key component but how is it solving problems in n America? Now everyone can be their own boss with the Uber app. Thanks! I highly recommend Anand Giridharadas to anyone who doubts this. He's brilliant and he's in the room with these people. What these guys are doing in Rawanda is Amazing! Like he said, they don't have "Legacy Infrastructure" there that has to be overcome or coordinated with. But it is their Government's that need to be applauded for using that money to innovate in ways that help those most in need. They could have used that money to renovate the capital city or give the richest in the country tax breaks! I'm sure there is some tired industry there that could use a "Bailout". Instead, they invested in the people. #HelloSomebody
nice to see Adam Levine contribute to technology as well
Fnidner nice one, I know I’m a little late
It is very much needed in India,too, but the politicians in collusion with bureaucrats demand huge sums of money from service providers.This makes it impossible to introduce such lifesaving services unless the service provider also is in collusion with them.
Let me show you what I can do with my launcher - (Whoaa!)
*But, what about the weather ? ⛈⚡🌪 What will the docs rely on during bad weather ?*
The drones can fly in heavy winds or torrential rain. Nothing short of a massive hurricane can stop them.
this is the o0lder system, they have a more advanced system now
Generally, I'm fairly impressed by this technology and I believe such project has made one of greatest contributions to the whole world. However, I believe there are still some technical difficulites to overcome and the prevelance of such technology is still questionable.
First, what can the center of blood do if all of drones are on their delivery and they have received a call from a hospital which has no storage of blood at all? Maybe this problem is esay to solve by making more drones. But what how many drones are sufficient?
Second, how can drones miss any assignments even in horrible nature disasters such as hurricane and heavy raining days?
Apparently, delivery blood and medicine by drones cannot be the only way. In my opinion, it is worthy that hospitals prepares their own blood storage and people stock their own emergency medecines even though these mean more space occupied and medicines' expirations.
Obviously, there is a trade-off between decentralized storage of blood with high cost and wastage vs. centralized storage with zero wastage. Given the efficiency of delivery by air vs sometimes impassable roads, this is a great solution. The problematic scenario that you proffer would be troublesome even in a decentralized situation, but with the added impossibility of delivering the blood in a timely manner.
He hot
This video had so much to offer and the only thing you saw was the guy is hot. HAHAHAHA. I agree though.
Nitesh Agarwal dont get me wrong😂😂😂, at the end of the vid i was really happy for him and his proyect, but, u know, he really cute👌🏿
Agreed. His smile is cute.
He's so attractive!
Americans are just so darn optimistic, aren't they?
يحكى أن شاب ظالم جبار لم يترك ذنب إلا وفعله وليس له من أقارب إلا أمه وذات صباح وجدته أمه ميت ذهبت لأهل القرية لتأتي بمن يغسله ويدفنه فلم يأتي معها أحد والكل كان فرحاً بموته وبعد عدة محاولات مع شيخ المسجد جاء فغسله وكفنه ولكنه لا يستطيع أن يحمله وحده للمقابر فذهب الشيخ إلى أهل القرية جميعاً لعل يجد من يحمله معه للدفن ولكن دون جدوى فأبصر الشيخ يراعي غنم غريب مرتحل فطلب منه أن يحمل معه الميت للدفن وتظل أم الشاب الميت تحرس الغنم حتي يعودو وبالفعل حمل الأثنان الميت وعندما وصلا المقابر قال الراعي هل صليتم عليه؟ فقال الشيخ لا. فقال الراعي لما لا نصلي أنا وأنت عليه ؟ فقال الشيخ صلي أنت عليه وحدك. وبالفعل صلى الراعي عليه صلاة الجنازة . ورجع الشيخ وعندما نام رأي الشاب الميت بالجنة . وظل يرى هذه الرؤية مراراً وتكراراً . وظل يتسائل كيف لمثل هذا الظالم الفاسد أن يدخل الجنة ؟ لعل هذا الراعي دعا له دعوة فاستجابها الله له. وبعد فترة أبصر الشيخ الراعي. فأسرع إليه وقال له : عندما صليت على الميت بماذا دعوت له؟ فكانت المفاجئة . قال الراعي: أنا لا أعرف أن أصلي ولكني وقفت وقلت يارب لو أن هذا الرجل ضيفي لذبحت له أفضل شاه عندي ولكنه ضيفك وأنت الكريم فتدبر أمره أنت أعلم به. فرد الشيخ وهو يبكي هذه الكلمات هي سبب دخوله الجنة.فضلاً وليس أمراً لو أعجبتك القصة ...... أكتب أسم من أسماء الله ❤❤❤❤❤
