Toronto, Canada, June 8, 2023 – The Assistive Technology Clinic is proud to be a partner in the development and production of the Connected Care Capsule (C3). C3 is a container-based medical capsule that has been funded by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) as a part of their Health Beyond initiative and Connected Care Medical Module (“C2M2”) -an early-stage prototyping exercise for a lunar hospital with potential space applications.
The vision for C3 is an infinitely scalable medical solution not only for future applications in space, but also for immediate, urgent care needs on Earth. The self-contained units could address the care gap in remote and Indigenous communities, and deployment is slated to begin as early as 2024.
C3 features novel patient monitoring and imaging combined with advanced telehealth and health AI capabilities. It was produced by a consortium of technical experts from a broad range of disciplines spanning real estate, medicine, hardware, and software, including the Canadian Space Mining Corporation (CSMC) who lead the project along with The Assistive Technology Clinic, BlueBird IT Solutions Inc, Lemay, Giant Containers, NexJ Health, Toronto Grace Health Centre, Lumeto, Evika Corporation, Dejero Networks, KA Imaging, and GRT Health. The final product is set to be delivered to the Canadian Space Agency in of the summer of 2023.
