MediCAB, a pilot project of an IIT-Madras-incubated startup, Modulus Housing has set up a 15-bed hospital in Wayanad, Kerala for treatment of Covid-19 patients. It was built within a day and will provide safe, durable, and affordable health facilities to treat Covid-19 patients.
Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) provided the inputs on certifications and customizations necessary for the project.
Normally, MediCABs are designed to have four zones. The first one will house rooms for doctors and nurses, zone two for screening patients, zone three for isolation wards and the fourth one will be the intensive care units. However, the facility at Wayanad has just a single zone comprising a medical ward. The ward is maintained at a negative pressure with its own exhaust system.
MediCABs uses customizable materials that can be installed by four people in two hours. It comes with in-built electricals and can be easily transported.
Modulus Housing is based in Chennai and develops foldable, portable homes. Post the COVID-19 pandemic, it came up with MediCAB by applying the technology to build instant healthcare infrastructure solutions.
