The Equipod
The Equipod is a multifunctional high-tech, secure pod designed to promote independence and remove the physical barriers felt between service users and friends, family, and healthcare professionals.
In response to the pandemic and to help futureproof our care, we created the Equipod. A place where service users can meet safely with their friends and family. Fully customisable, secure, and unique, the Equipod breaks down barriers, reunites families and brings joy to service users.
The Equipod is also utilised as a consultation room, removing the anxieties of outside healthcare visits, and bringing healthcare professionals to the service virtually. Service users are no longer faced with the physical barriers of a face-to-face healthcare visit. The Equipod allows users to consult remotely with multiple members of their healthcare team without having the leave the service. Inside the Equipod we utilise multipaneled screens for a fully immersive video conferencing experience connecting service users with professionals, sensors measure height and weight, and state-of-the-art technology can read blood pressure and heart rates with accuracy. Service users are empowered with the Equipod and can even include family and friends in their consultations virtually. The Equipod brings service users, family, friends, and healthcare professionals together to deliver truly outstanding care.
Improving the lives of individuals, with innovation
Technology is at the heart of everything we do. We believe innovation enhances our person-centred care approach. Innovation helps us to deliver more efficient care, it empowers our service users to live more independently and supports our staff to focus on meaningful face-to-face interactions. From investing in electronic pathways to coordinate more accurate data and building our ground-breaking Equipod, here at Equilibrium Healthcare we are constantly innovating to ensure we remain at the forefront of research and technology.
