Second-year mechanical engineering students of the GATES Institute of Technology, Gooty, Andhra Pradesh developed a safe bike ambulance with 3DEXPERIENCE Lab of Dassault Systèmes.

The bike ambulance’s structure was developed using CATIA part design, CATIA assembly design, generative shape and wireframe, and live rendering studio applications powered by Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform. In case of emergency, these bike ambulances can safely carry one patient along with a medical worker as a rider to tackle any urgent medical situation to nearby primary and Community Health Centres (CHCs) from remote villages.

Every ambulance has a special leading link front suspension fitted as standard, improving the ambulance’s off-road as well as on-road capabilities with an oxygen cylinder, patient monitor system, wheelchair and stretcher. Additionally, the bike ambulance can be attached to any bike available in the market. Additional ‘Roof Bars’ and all-weather covers ensure patient protection and help improve and facilitate patient transfer. A footstep has been provided for easy access to the stretcher which has multiple functions, wherein a patient can lean back and sit with outstretched legs. The patient can be buckled up with special belts provided to ensure safety while driving.

The idea to launch Heal Mobile intended to extend economical health relief through frugal innovation to the economically underprivileged sections of society during the Covid-19 pandemic. Heal Mobile will ferry patients, pregnant women and infants from remote areas to the nearest healthcare centre and hospitals in the Andhra Pradesh-Telangana – Karnataka region.
