The design is a special citizen pod for the COVID-19 era. It brings together intelligent technology and a flexible construction in order to "support a safe responsible recovery for governments, businesses, and communities." The Citizen Care Pod enables efficient and mobile COVID-19 testing and is ideal for high-traffic business environments and communities. The pod is equipped "with a suite of intelligent, customizable technologies powered by the trusted Microsoft Azure cloud platform and Azure AI." All is set in 20-foot or 40-foot shipping containers. Deployed as a "ready-to-use solution" in Canada, the Citizen Care Pod is envisioned to expedite COVID-19 screening in order to guarantee the safety of the larger community.
