HOVERx
Bringing Aid within Your Reach
On behalf of the University of Guam - UOG Professional Master of Business Administration Cohort XVIII, we are honored to share with you history in the making! HOVERx was a proof-of-concept where we used drones to deliver critical healthcare supplies to remote islands in the Pacific. We successfully launched from Seinwar Elementary School in Kitti, Pohnpei and completed our delivery to Ahnd Atoll. Our vision was to create a service that can help our Pacific brothers and sisters and provide much needed care when needed the most. A journey that would've taken over an hour by boat, we were able to deliver in minutes -- making healthcare more accessible within the Pacific. Our project was well received by the wonderful people of Pohnpei!
Un Dangkolo Na Si Yu'us Ma'ase to SPBA Dean Roseann M. Jones, Ph.D., and Professor Charlie Hermosa for believing in us, Rohsa (traditional leader) William Hawley & family for your invaluable support, and North Pacific Tribe Studios for documenting our journey!
This project would not have been possible without the support of our amazing sponsors:
Bella Wings Aviation- Partner
Pacific Federal Management - Gold Sponsor
Citadel Pacific Holdings - Silver Sponsor
Atkins Kroll Guam - Bronze Sponsor
Outerbridge Technical Solutions - Bronze Sponsor
AM Insurance - Cohort Friends and Family
