COVID-19 tracked Vaccine Transport solution

通过与地区护士和一家大型药品分销公司合作，我们发现了一个重大需求，即改善药品、测试样本、输血和疫苗的温控和监控分发。最紧迫的是，我们确定了四个将影响英国的COVID-19具体问题，这些问题必须立即解决：* 当疫苗上市时，它们将需要温控环境。英国分发这些疫苗的基础设施已经捉襟见肘。手术室、药房和医院的制冷能力不足以处理预期的数量。也没有中央监测系统。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被销毁，NHS每年估计花费400万英镑，并减少了可用疫苗的总数。可能需要驾车通过疫苗接种点。这些将需要制冷设施，而无法保证可靠的电力供应。eVc PowerTech正在创建一种低成本的医疗供应分配系统，该系统包括手持式冷藏手提箱，该手提箱包含真实的时间温度监测，以及对接系统，该对接系统将为手提箱供电，并在手提箱位于分配中心、车辆或药房时充当通信中心，全科医生手术或医院。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，我们将在电动送货货车中展示我们的温控解决方案，证明系统的效率对范围的影响可以忽略不计。

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.
