This project addresses ambulance accessibility challenges in India, especially in rural areas where financial constraints, poor infrastructure, and geographic diversity limit emergency healthcare. Inspired by COVID-19, research revealed gaps in government initiatives and highlighted the role of frugal, community-driven solutions. Through literature review, interviews, and systemic mapping, key leverage points were identified to reframe the design brief. Concepts were evaluated for feasibility, viability, stakeholder involvement, and user experience. The final solution is a self-sustaining life pod that can attach to light commercial vehicles as an ambulance or operate as a standalone mobile clinic in remote regions. The design was developed with 3D-printed packaging explorations and visualized through AI-generated scenarios, demonstrating potential applications and innovative use cases. This project emphasizes scalable, adaptable healthcare solutions, aiming to strengthen India’s emergency response ecosystem across diverse contexts while ensuring equitable access to critical medical services.
