Webinar on March 1^stwill discuss how Draganfly�s Vital Intelligence technology is helping Fobi�s new PassPro Wallet pass platform deliver more interoperable and automated access and healthcare solutions

Los Angeles, CA, Feb. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO) (FSE: 3U8) (�Draganfly'' or the �Company�), an award-winning, industry-leading drone solutions and systems developer, is pleased to announce that the Company will launch its new Access & Healthcare Solutions with its key partner Fobi AI Inc. (�Fobi'�) (TSXV: FOBI) (OTCQB: FOBIF), a leader in providing real-time data analytics through artificial intelligence to drive operational efficiencies and profitability, during a joint webinar at 3 p.m. PST on March 1, 2022.

A lack of access, data interoperability and automation continues to be a major challenge for hosting in-person events and gatherings.�This issue is creating an increasing amount of friction in communities and across a number of industries including venue management and tourism.

To address this and improve the user experience, Draganfly and Fobi are working together to provide flexible and agile solutions to meet the needs of established organizations across a variety of major markets.

An integral part of the Access & Healthcare Solutions being offered by Draganfly and Fobi is the deployment of the Company�s Vital Intelligence Smart Vital Kiosks. Powered by Draganfly�s Vital Intelligence platform, the kiosks can screen, with voluntary consent, temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation (SpO2) in seconds. The system does not register any personal data of the individual being screened.

Integrations such as Draganfly�s Smart Vital System enable Fobi�s PassPro Wallet pass platform to help industry leaders solve multiple pain points. The platform will now be able to automatically deliver customers� verified credentials like vital signs, access privileges and more to both a Fobi PassPro Wallet pass for easy customer access, as well as to a back-end portal for improved management by organizations.

According to a recent event participation survey by MarTech, respondents are generally in favor of health and safety protocols including vaccine status verification and test result tracking if it means they can physically attend conferences and events. Organizers are continuing to look for ways to adapt with data from EventMB revealing that 74% have become more proficient with venue management technologies.

Additional details about the joint solutions being offered by Draganfly and Fobi will be shared during the webinar on March 1, 2022.
