美国疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）建议卫生保健提供者在隔离室对出现COVID-19症状的患者进行筛查测试，以保护其他患者免受病毒的潜在接触。
Smart Pod 是一个在埃博拉病毒发生后设计的快速可部署的医疗设施，可作为空气中病原体的生物控制单元。这种紧急解决方案由贝勒医学院开发，作为针对流行病优化的灵活、标准化的设施。
可扩展的 403 英尺2 设施具有折叠式和最紧凑的标准运输集装箱的尺寸。它易于运输和重新组装，为增加有限的资源提供了快速的选择。智能舱是一站式的流行病解决方案，在吊舱内提供用品和设备。
在该装置中，通过抗菌地板、HEPA 过滤器和 UVC 照明系统，可消除 99.7% 的病原体，包括空气中的病原体（如 COVID-19），从而加强感染控制。这种可再散的诊所可以使用负压系统建造，从而消除受污染的空气。

The CDC recommends that patient screening for COVID-19 is performed in an isolated room behind closed doors to protect other patients from potential exposure to the virus. The SmartPod is a rapidly deployable medical facility that can serve as a biocontainment unit for airborne pathogens.
This emergency solution has been developed by Baylor College of Medicine as a nimble standardized facility that is optimized for epidemics. In its folded and most compact form, the facility has the dimensions of a standard shipping container. It can be easily transported and reassembled into a 403 square foot facility providing a rapid option for augmenting limited resources.
The SmartPod holds all necessary supplies and equipment. Inside the unit, infection control is strengthened with antimicrobial flooring, HEPA filters, and a UVC lighting system proven to eliminate 99.7% of pathogens, including airborne pathogens like COVID-19. Furthermore, this relocatable clinic can be constructed with a negative pressure system allowing for the elimination of contaminated air.
