v2.0 · +clinic onboard / +mass sampling

iMASQ family · onboard clinic + mass sampling adaptations

2020 · India · AP + Telangana · iMASQ 1.0 (Telangana spec) + 2.0/2.1/2.2 (AP-deployed family)

Built onv1.0 chassis

Operational requirement that triggered v2.0

COVID-19 infection-control protocols required sealed sample handling, zero open-air crowd assembly, and a sample-to-VTM packaging chain compressed below the contamination window. v1.0's external tent model failed all three. Two parallel state requirements then split the platform: Telangana needed end-to-end onboard COVID care (clinic, isolation, pharmacy, remote monitoring, surveillance); Andhra Pradesh needed high-throughput mass sample collection at state scale. Both were built.

v2.0a iMASQ 1.0 · Telangana spec Built · not deployed

End-to-end onboard COVID response unit. One coach carried the entire COVID care chain: sample intake, clinical consultation, isolation, pharmacy, and a remote-monitoring desk feeding camera surveillance from quarantined patient homes back to the bus.

Single swab collection station · sealed external counter
Onboard clinic · doctor consultation + exam
1 isolation ward · bed + oxygen + monitoring
Onboard pharmacy · dispensing + cabinet wall
Remote monitoring center · home-quarantine vitals + camera feeds
Camera surveillance · roof CCTV array

Status note. The Telangana deployment did not proceed under the state's prevailing COVID policy posture. The iMASQ 1.0 feature set survived into the Andhra Pradesh deployment as the blue QUARANTINE companion unit paired alongside the mass-sampling buses (see v2.0b).

v2.0b iMASQ 2.0 · 2.1 · 2.2 family · AP deployment Deployed · 170+ units

Andhra Pradesh greenlit deployment but required state-scale mass sample collection — orders of magnitude beyond the 1.0 throughput. Solution: strip the 1.0 clinic/pharmacy/isolation features into a separate paired QUARANTINE companion unit, and parallelize the sample-collection side into multiple counter windows on one bus. Each counter sustains ~10 swabs/hour; total per-unit throughput scales linearly with counter count.

Indian road heterogeneity required three chassis sizes — the same per-station rate, three fleet form factors:

Variant	Chassis	Length	Counters	Throughput / hr
iMASQ 2.0 · Large	Full coach	~12 m	12 counters	120 swabs / hr
iMASQ 2.1 · Mid	Mid coach	~9.5 m	8 counters	80 swabs / hr
iMASQ 2.2 · Small	Tempo Traveller	~5.5 m	4 counters	40 swabs / hr

iMASQ 2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2 family lineup — three vehicles in side elevation, sized smallest to largest

v3.0 · +ICU build

Critical Care 24×7 · mobile ICU adaptation

2021 · India · Telangana · COVID second-wave deployment · deployed under the b.SOZO partnership

Built onv2.0 chassis

Operational requirement that triggered v3.0

COVID second-wave hospital bed availability fell below state demand. Patients arriving in critical condition could not be admitted. Requirement: deliver monitored patient care, including oxygen, ECG, and respiratory support, at deployment sites — independent of hospital infrastructure. The unit was deployed under the b.SOZO Critical Care 24×7 private partnership funding channel.

+ Added in v3.0

Fixed patient beds — interior conversion, isolation berths
Medical oxygen line — ceiling-mounted, cylinder rack
ECG monitor — per-bed bedside station
C-PAP / BiPAP support — respiratory intervention
Private funding channel — first non-government deployment funding

± Modified in v3.0

Interior layout — single-direction screening lanes → bed-grid isolation ward
Staffing profile — testing technicians → critical-care nursing
Funding model — govt-only → govt + private partnership

− Removed in v3.0

Sample-collection counter — function no longer needed
VTM packaging unit — repurposed cabin space
Single-patient throughput model — shifted to extended-stay care

v4.0 · US re-platform

Florida Dental · US-market adaptation

2023–2026 · United States · Florida · fifth-wheel trailer chassis · senior community deployments · ongoing

Built onv1.0 chassis lineage · US-spec trailer

Operational requirement that triggered v4.0

US senior dental coverage gap: Original Medicare covers $0 of routine dental, Medicare Advantage caps dental at $1K–$2K. Requirement: deliver procedure-grade dental care (not screening) at senior communities, with US-spec equipment, US billing chain, and reduced on-site staffing footprint.

+ Added in v4.0

Fifth-wheel trailer chassis — truck-towed, parks independently of tow vehicle, lower regulatory burden

Hygienist station — separate cleaning workflow
Intraoral X-ray unit — onboard imaging
Autoclave sterilization — instrument turnaround onboard
Face-sheet pre-screen software — digital intake before deployment
