The Citizen Care Pod, led by the Citizen Care Pods Corporation, is a new COVID-19 smart screening and testing initiative, that combines intelligent technology with a modular design. The multi-disciplinary project team consisting of Toronto-based WZMH Architects, PCL Construction, Insight Enterprises, Quasar Consulting Group, and Microsoft, collaborated to bring the project from concept to reality in less than a month.

The Citizen Care Pod is a 20-foot or 40-foot shipping container, equipped with four to ten testing stations, designed to physically and safely separate patients and healthcare workers while in use. The project provides relief to over-burdened hospitals and empowers businesses and communities to be leaders in health promotion and disease prevention.

Designed to be adaptable, the pod can be later used for testing and screening for flu season and viral outbreaks, delivering vaccines, and future public health needs. Finally, the Citizen Care Pod features a core set of intelligent technology and design features and can be customized to include additional smart systems.
