DESIGN PROPOSAL
Our goal is to enhance participation in clinical trials by creating a patient-centric approach that provides a feeling of spacious luxury and comfort. We have created an unfolding design that features internal walls that provide adjustability to allow for maximum variety of spaces, such as labs, exam rooms, waiting rooms, education spaces, and restrooms. Our design highlights modularity, adaptability, and flexibility to ensure that Gami can be used for any healthcare need. Our motto, “Growing communities, expanding health,” reflects our commitment to creating a healthcare solution that brings a diverse group of people together.
To further engage with communities, we have included a secondary recruitment vehicle. By going directly into communities and connecting with users on a personal level, we aim to draw attention to and spark curiosity about Gami. Patients can download the app and ask questions, allowing for a more personalized experience. Not only does the digital experience of Gami include an app and a website, but there are screens located within central spaces of the trailer that allow the patient to learn more about Gami and develop their health literacy.
Gami’s remarkable flexibility provides the freedom to adapt the space to meet a range of healthcare needs. We have developed two floor plans for a clinical trial screening and vaccination site.
Our clinical trial floor plan boasts eight 91 square foot private exam rooms, two state-of-the-art 165 square foot labs, ample restroom facilities, and a spacious storage unit. In addition, a 450 square foot waiting room ensures patients’ comfort during their visit. Our vaccination and education floor plan transforms the trailer into an interactive educational space. In the education space, members of the community can learn about their health, empowering them to make informed decisions about their healthcare before or after heading to vaccine areas.
Gami is stationed in a designated location for a period of 6 months to a year, depending on the density of the population and the number of participants enrolled in the clinical trial. The team of Gami staff comprised of nurses and medical assistants provide top-notch medical care to the trial participants. Additionally, the office staff ensure that all administrative tasks are handled smoothly, while the technical expert manages details such as solar power and water supply.
