Cover Story: Using drone aircraft to deliver healthcare and other health-related services is a relatively new application of this technology in North America. This paper presents the results of a scoping review of the research literature to determine how drones are used for healthcare and health-related services in North America, and how such applications account for human operating and machine design factors. A total of 4665 documents were retrieved, and following a title, abstract, and full-text screening process completed by all authors, 29 documents were retained for analysis. Findings indicate that drones may be a financially feasible way to promote healthcare and health-related service accessibility for those in difficult-to-reach areas; however, further work is required to fully understand the costs to healthcare organizations and the communities they serve.
