Working with district nurses and a major pharmaceutical distribution company, we have identified a significant need for improving temperature-controlled and monitored distribution for medicines, test samples, blood transfusions and vaccines.Most urgently, we have identified four COVID-19 specific issues that will impact the UK that must be addressed right now:* When vaccines become available, they will require temperature-controlled environments. The UK's infrastructure to distribute these vaccines in these volumes is stretched.* There is insufficient refrigeration capability at surgeries, pharmacies and hospitals to handle the anticipated volumes. Nor is there a central monitoring system.* District and community nurses currently have no temperature-controlled facilities for delivering vaccines. Unused vaccines are therefore destroyed at the end of each day, costing the NHS an estimated £4M annually and reducing the overall number of vaccines available.* Drive through vaccination sites are likely to be required. These will require refrigeration facilities where there is no guarantee of a reliable power supply.eVc PowerTech are creating a low cost medical supply distribution system comprising of hand-held refrigerated tote boxes that incorporate real time temperature monitoring, and a docking system that will power the totes and act as a communications hub when the totes are in a distribution centre, in a vehicle or at a pharmacy, GP surgery or hospital.Our vision is to create a system that can be used throughout the healthcare industry for the safe transportation and handling of temperature-controlled medicines.Additionally, we will be demonstrating our temperature-controlled solution in an electric delivery van, demonstrating that the efficiencies of the system have negligible impact on range.

我们与地区护士和一家大型药品分销公司合作，确定了改善药品、检测样本、输血和疫苗的温度控制和监测分销的重大需要。最紧迫的是，我们确定了四个将影响英国的COVID-19具体问题，必须立即解决：*当疫苗可用时，它们将需要温度控制的环境。英国分发这些大量疫苗的基础设施已经捉襟襟肘。*诊所、药房和医院的冷藏能力不足，无法处理预期的数量。也没有中央监控系统。*地区和社区护士目前没有提供疫苗的温控设施。因此，未使用的疫苗在每天结束时都会被销毁，这使NHS每年损失约400万英镑，并减少了可用疫苗的总数。*可能需要开车经过疫苗接种点。这将需要在没有可靠电力供应保证的地方配备制冷设施。eVc PowerTech正在创造一种低成本的医疗供应分配系统，包括包含实时温度监测的手持式冷藏手提袋，以及一个对接系统，当手提袋在配送中心、车辆或药房、GP手术室或医院时，该系统将为手提袋供电并充当通信枢纽。我们的愿景是创建一个可用于整个医疗保健行业的系统，用于安全运输和处理温控药物。此外，我们将在一辆电动货车上展示我们的温控解决方案，证明系统的效率对行驶里程的影响可以忽略不计。
