Jupe creates rapid response deployable shelter units for healthcare workers and patient recovery
Across the globe, industries are doing the best they can to respond to the global COVID-19 pandemic that is affecting millions of people daily.
The architecture and design industry has stepped into action by providing aid and continuous assistant through the PPE fabrication and collaboration with other medical and health institutions.
As numbers of coronavirus patients increase, the need for medical space to assist these patients has decreased. In places like China, Italy, the U.S. and Germany, temporary medical facilities have been constructed. However, one company aims to help mitigate the issue and provide spaces where healthcare workers can rest and patients can recover. Co-founders Jeff Wilson and Cameron Blizzard have teamed together with a group of healthcare professionals, industrial design specialists, architects, and engineers to create another way to help the COVID-19's growing housing and treatment issue.
According to the company's site, "COVID-19 is a global crisis. It's on the move. So are we." JUPE's initiatives are to provide portable units where healthcare workers rest and the patients recover. Broken down into three types of shelter units: JUPE REST, JUPE CARE, and JUPE PLUS the company is producing a fast and effective way to provide aid during this time.
"JUPE HEALTH, a rapid-deployment recovery space designed for comfort, care and wellness. The units are highly scalable, cost-effective, and easily transportable. JUPE HEALTH aims to be an immediate response for emergency bedding solutions, equipped with technology and amenities to support containment efforts in hospitals and clinics."
Inspired by manufacturing technology used by the automobile industry, the team at JUPE has created a patent-pending IoT, network-ready treatment space.
