Mobile medical care system
View Patent ↗A medical care system having one or more clinician rooms, and one or more patient areas. The clinician rooms and patient areas are separate from one another to prevent an infectious virus (such as COVID-19) from spreading from one room or area to another room or area. A dividing wall is provided between each clinician room and the respective patient area. A glass partition is located in the dividing wall and one or more gloves are provided in the glass partition. Thus, a clinician located in a clinician room can interact with a patient located in the patient area to conduct a physical medical examination, such as for example to take the temperature of the patient or test for a virus.

3. The medical care system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second patient non-movable dividing walls, first and second non-movable glass partitions and said first and second one or more gloves form an airtight seal to isolate the first and second patient areas from the first and second clinician rooms, respectively, to prevent transmission of viruses or illnesses.
4. The medical care system of claim 3 , wherein the first and second patient non-movable dividing walls, first and second non-movable glass partitions and said first and second one or more gloves provide an airtight seal to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 between the first and second clinician rooms and the first and second patient areas, respectively.
5. The medical care system of claim 1 , further comprising a storage unit positioned in the first and second patient areas.
6. The medical care system of claim 5 , further comprising a lid on the storage unit configured to open into the first and second patient areas and away from the first and second clinician room.

a patient area separate from the clinician room;
a dividing wall between the clinician room and the patient room; and,
a medical care apparatus in the dividing wall, said medical care apparatus having a glass partition and accessible from an outside of said compartment.
10. The medical care system of claim 9 , wherein said glass partition is removably attached to said medical care apparatus and can be replaced by a non-movable partition.
11. The medical care system of claim 10 , wherein said glass partition comprises a sliding window or medical gloves.
12. The medical care system of claim 9 , wherein the dividing wall and medical care apparatus form an airtight seal to isolate a patient in the patient room from a clinician in the clinician room to prevent transmission of viruses or illnesses.
13. The medical care system of claim 9 , wherein the dividing wall and medical care apparatus provide an airtight seal to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 between the clinician room and the patient room.
14. The medical care system of claim 9 , further comprising a storage unit positioned in the patient room.
15. The medical care system of claim 14 , further comprising a lid on the storage unit configured to open into the patient room and away from the clinician room.
16. The medical care system of claim 15 , further comprising a hinge pivotally connecting the lid to the storage unit, said hinge connected at a side of the lid and a side of the storage unit furthest from the clinician room.
17. The medical care system of claim 9 , further comprising a vehicle having a front end with said cab and a rear end having said compartment.
18. The medical care system of claim 9 , said right side panel having a panel opening and further comprising a movable panel movably coupled to said right side panel about the panel opening and movable between an open position that grants access to said medical care apparatus and a closed position that denies access to said medical care apparatus.
