A four-stage approach to delivering a sustainable community hub for telemedicine, healthcare, education and enterprise using renewable energy and open source technology.

Stage One – Telemedicine-In-A-Container provides the kit needed to implement telemedicine services in remote healthcare facilities delivered in a container that is small enough to carry as hand luggage on a plane yet powerful enough to support a full-scale community hospital.

The technology includes the open source health record, server and storage, cloud-based backup, satellite and mobile data connections, wireless connection to local devices, battery and photo-voltaic cells.

Stage Two – Hospital-In-A-Container houses the Telemedicine-In-A-Container, together with laboratory test equipment and ultrasound scanner. Delivered by an electric Tuk Tuk.

Stage Three – Community-In-A-Container houses the Hospital-In-A-Container, together with educational resources and equipment for community teaching and technical training. Delivered by a small electric truck.

Stage Four – Enterprise-In-A-Container combines the Community-In-A-Container, with a second container housing a bank of rechargeable batteries that can be used to power local community enterprise and generate revenue to sustain the container initiative. The battery bank container is the same size as the Community-In-A-Container and can be delivered by a small electric truck.
