Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M) start-up Modulus Housing, has developed a portable hospital unit called ‘MediCAB’.
MediCAB can be installed anywhere
within two hours by four people. It has been launched recently in
Wayanad District of Kerala where the units are being deployed to treat
COVID19 Patients.
The Medicab is foldable and is composed
of four zones: a doctor’s room, an isolation room, a medical room/ward
and a twin-bed ICU, maintained at negative pressure. It
aims to decentralize the approach to detect, screen, identify, isolate
and treat COVID-19 patients in their local communities through these
portable microstructures.
