Podastic! The ICU device safely transporting COVID-19 patients

Futuris looks at a new Norwegian medical device that can safely transport patients with highly infectious diseases such as Ebolaand COVID-19.

Protecting healthcare professionals, while taking care of infected patients to limit the spread of the coronavirus, are just some of the big challenges facing the world right now. An EU project, which merges medical procedure and technology, could help provide the answer.

"The coronavirus continues to put health care systems around the world under huge pressure and the demand for protective equipment is unprecedented. And when it's necessary to move an infected patient, a new invention from Norway can protect the medical staff from the disease as they are providing vital intensive care during transports."
