Abstract: A method for controlling secure delivery of a medication package includes receiving a medication delivery request to deliver a medication package to a first delivery location. The method also includes identifying one or more authenticated delivery locations corresponding to a recipient and determining whether the one or more authenticated delivery locations includes the first delivery location and, in response to a determination that the one or more authenticated delivery locations includes the first delivery location, instructing an unmanned aerial vehicle to transport the medication package from a starting location to the first delivery location. The method also includes, in response to the unmanned aerial vehicle communicating authentication data, determining whether the authentication data corresponds to the recipient. The method also includes, in response to a determination that the authentication data corresponds to the recipient, instructing the unmanned aerial vehicle to release the medication package to the recipient.
