Designing Mobile Recovery Units JUPE HEALTH LAUNCHES MOBILE RECOVERY UNITS AS IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO HOSPITAL OVERCROWDING Why deploying mobile rooms for Healthcare workers and quarantined patients should be our top priority

NEW YORK, NY and TEXAS -- MARCH 26, 2020 -- Jupe, Inc., a flat-packed housing startup built for crisis and disaster response, today announced JUPE Health, a rapid-deployment recovery space designed for healthcare workers and quarantined patients. As U.S. hospitals brace for the future of the coronavirus, reaching capacity is one of the most critical issues healthcare workers face. JUPE Health aims to be an immediate response for a workforce that needs to stay near the hospital and for the anticipated flood of sick and recovering patients. JUPE Health units are equipped with mobile bedding, technology, and amenities to support long-term containment efforts. JUPE Health is a first-of-its-kind model, designed by both physicians and patients to optimize and increase care capacity. A patentpending, internet-of-things enabled, all JUPE treatment spaces include a bed and are network-ready with air monitoring, climate control, and noise-reducing technologies. With most short-term healthcare efforts focused on dwindling medical supplies and masks, JUPE moved quickly in prototyping three health units with foresight into the capacity crisis, bringing mobile solutions forward for the places of highest need.
