QUICK FACTS The Citizen Care Pod is a retrofitted 20-foot or 40-foot shipping container equipped with four to 10 testing stations that are designed to physically and safely separate the front-line testing administrator from the patient being tested or screened. In partner- ship with a lab diagnostics provider, all customizable testing will be administered outside of the pod to address concerns about testing in confined spaces. There are sanitization stations outside with con- nected hand sanitizers, as well as sanitization stations inside for the healthcare worker. Recognized as a safer, sustainable, and more energy-efficient approach to build, the Citizen Care Pod's modular construction means it can be rapidly installed to any site, including high-traffic or remote locations. The Citizen Care Pod can be customized to include additional intelligent technologies and design fea- tures, which can include additional exterior cameras and speakers to measure distance between people and send audio reminders if safe distancing is not maintained; AI-enabled cameras to alert healthcare workers when proper face protection requirements are not being met; security cameras with local or remote visual display and cameras inside the Pod to monitor and send alerts when the unit has reached capacity; and Tablets to enable real-time, non-con- tact communication between healthcare workers and patients, including a health questionnaire conducted by a chatbot developed by Insight and instructions in multiple languages The Citizen Care Pod does not store personally identifiable information. Healthcare informa- tion remains anonymous to maintain patient privacy.
