Description du projet
Des services hospitaliers mobiles pour les situations d’urgence
Le nombre croissant de catastrophes naturelles augmente le besoin de solutions de soins de santé fiables, rapides et rentables pour soutenir les personnes vulnérables dans les situations d’urgence. Cependant, les solutions existantes sont onéreuses car elles impliquent des coûts élevés de déploiement, d’assemblage et de retrait. En conséquence, il existe une demande croissante pour des solutions innovantes qui soient économiques et offrent des services de santé de haute qualité en temps opportun. Le projet HEALTH-IN-A-CONT, financé par l’UE, propose un modèle mobile à déploiement rapide qui fournit des services hospitaliers aux populations vivant dans des zones isolées ou en situation d’urgence. L’innovation consiste en un conteneur maritime rapidement installé, entièrement autonome, capable de fournir des services médicaux, y compris un diagnostic chirurgical et de laboratoire, et facile à déplacer.
Objectif
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.
