If you’re in London this fall and you hear a faint buzzing noise overhead, that may be the sound of one of Google’s Wing drones carrying a load of fresh blood.

The company just announced that it’s partnering with the U.K.’s National Health Service and medical drone network provider Apian to run a trial that will see drones flying blood samples between two central London hospitals, Guy’s and St Thomas.
