A multi-disciplinary team led by Citizen Care Pod Corporation, in collaboration with WZMH Architects, PCL Construction, Insight Enterprises and Microsoft, has worked together amidst the pandemic to launch a new COVID-19 smart screening and testing pod, refined from a version designed last month.
The Citizen Care Pod integrates intelligent technology within a modular design to support a safe, responsible recovery for governments, businesses, and communities.

The concept is a customizable unit outfitted with the capabilities to enable turnkey mobile COVID-19 testing in high-traffic business environments and communities. It aims to expedite testing, screening, and eventually vaccination on a mass scale. Using modular construction methods, PCL Construction is manufacturing and assembling the pods by retrofitting 20-foot or 40-foot shipping containers to create modules equipped with four to 10 testing stations. A variety of customizable options are available. The process supports rapid delivery and installation to high-traffic or remote locations.
