What Avion does

Avion is a drone-based digital health platform, designed to bridge the gap between remote clinics and urban healthcare infrastructures. By connecting these isolated clinics with sophisticated labs and well-stocked pharmacies in cities, Avion brings a new era of remote diagnostics and prescription fulfilment. Avion ensures the rapid, safe, and efficient delivery of vital medical supplies and clinical samples, even to the most hard-to-reach locations. Avion's operation uniquely combines cutting-edge autonomous drone technology with digital health platforms. Our drones, built with advanced eVTOL capabilities, ensure seamless take-off and landing capabilities, even in challenging terrains. Avion's digital health platform serves as the connective tissue between urban health centers and remote clinics. The platform features an intuitive interface, making it easy for healthcare providers to order necessary supplies, track shipments, and even communicate with laboratory and pharmacy staff.

Autonomous eVTOL drones for medical delivery

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build autonomous electric vertical takeoff and landing drones that deliver medical supplies and clinical samples between remote clinics and urban health centers. Our platform lets healthcare workers order, track, and communicate about these deliveries, helping underserved locations get timely access to diagnostics and prescriptions.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the talent and investor network we need to develop complex drone technology and build the digital health platform, so it's where we live and work now and will continue for the company.
