The ‘E-LifePod’

• Each E-LifePods functions as an integrated ED-OT-ICU (Emergency, Operating Theatre and Intensive Care Unit) capability.

• E-LifePods can provide effective healthcare in urgent situations such as natural disasters or manmade disasters.

• The infrastructure within the E-LifePods will enable more diagnostic, monitoring, and treatment capabilities (including surgery) to be taken closer to the patien when compared to currently available pre-hospital capabilities.

• All E-LifePods will be domain-agnostic, enabling functionality in the land, air, sea, and littoral domains.

• All E-LifePods will be vehicle-agnostic, enabling transportability using a multitude of manned or unmanned vehicular systems (including trucks, trains, planes, helicopters, boats, and amphibius vehicles).

• The E-LifePods will have the capability to provide prolonged effective healthcare in the field.

• The E-LifePods are functional as ‘independent’ E-LifePods or can be scaled significantly by configuring with other LifePod variants to greatly enhance healthcare provision to larger numbers of patients (e.g. for managing mass casualty incidents).

• SABRN is also working on a LifePod variant (X-LifePod) that could provide effective healthcare on extra-terrestrial environments (such as the Lunar or Mars surfaces) in the future.
