Descripción del proyecto
Servicios de hospital móvil para situaciones de emergencia
El creciente número de catástrofes naturales aumenta la necesidad de disponer de unas soluciones sanitarias fiables, rápidas y rentables para ayudar a las personas vulnerables en situaciones de emergencia. Sin embargo, las soluciones existentes son caras, ya que requieren costes elevados para su despliegue, montaje y retirada. Como consecuencia, se demanda cada vez más soluciones innovadoras que no sean caras y que ofrezcan unos servicios sanitarios de alta calidad a tiempo. El proyecto HEALTH-IN-A-CONT, financiado con fondos europeos, propone un modelo móvil de despliegue rápido que preste servicios hospitalarios a las poblaciones que viven en zonas aisladas o en caso de emergencia. La innovación consta de un contenedor que se instala con rapidez, es totalmente autónomo y capaz de prestar servicios médicos (como diagnósticos quirúrgicos y de laboratorio) y se transporta fácilmente.
Objetivo
In hard to reach, remote rural areas with no power or direct water supply and in humanitarian settings (natural disasters, i.e. flooding, earthquakes, conflicts), insufficient health facilities availability, lack of emergency medical transportation, violence, and insecurity result in barriers for timely access to emergency care for vulnerable populations. With the increase in the number of natural hazards, there is a widespread need for innovative solutions for good quality, cost-effective and timely health care in emergency situations. Current solutions face high costs for deployment (specialized personnel required), assembly, withdraw (20%-40% of medical equipment is abandoned) and redeployment.
Our mobile, rapid deployment model aims to provide “on demand” field hospital services (surgical, diagnostics, laboratory, general consultation services and trauma box) for citizens living in remote areas or humanitarian/emergency settings. The innovation of our fully autonomous mobile field hospital designed for rapid deployment stands in its autonomy (no need for supporting infrastructures thanks to the Service Container integating power supply, gas and liquid processing, waste management systems, and the Plug-and-Play set-up), ease of transportation (in its 40-feet high cube container, by road, rail, plane, boat), and rapid deployment (<2 hours, no assembly, no specialized personnel, no dismantling, time and cost saving).
The global mobile hospital market represents our target market, expected to growth at a CAGR 36.7%, and reach €19.9 billion (2019-2025). HealthPoint Europe SL is an Spanish enginnering start-up company, specialized in hospital equipment, e-health, and infrastructure deployment. Our Business Model includes leasing, renting, direct selling, and selling through intermediaries to different customer segments: B2B (private hospitals, health agencies), B2G (governments, civil protection and emergency units, national and regional health services), and NGO.
