CATIA Champion Shuttle Mobility Contest
VIV-e: The VitalPod Concept
VIV-e (VitalPod) is an innovative, fully electric mobile health shuttle designed for daily-basis treatments, bringing healthcare services directly to the patients. The name "VIV-e" is elegantly inspired by the French word "vivre" (to live), perfectly symbolizing life, health, and vitality. The "Pod" represents its modern, autonomous capsule shape, while the "e" highlights the vehicle's eco-friendly and electric nature. VIV-e aims to take healthcare out of hospital walls and seamlessly integrate it into modern city life.
Key Components and Technologies
The interior of VIV-e is equipped with highly specialized components to support both patient comfort and advanced medical care:
Smart Medical Chair: The primary patient seat features built-in facial recognition technology. This system instantly and securely identifies the patient as soon as they sit down, automatically loading their personal medical profile to the screens.
Robot Cleaner: Kept in its dedicated storage area under the seating, this smart robot automatically cleans the pod between patient visits to ensure a highly hygienic environment at all times.
Interactive Display Systems: The pod is designed with a multi-screen communication system. It features one large main screen dedicated to live video consultations with remote doctors. Additionally, there are two transparent curved screens (Curve Screen) positioned right in front of the patient. These transparent screens allow the patient to easily track their own real-time vital signs and view their personal database, such as current medications and allergies.
Adjustable Medi-Arm: This is a multi-functional robotic health assistant that can be adjusted for different treatments and check-ups. The arm includes multiple specialized heads:
ECG: Accurately measures and displays the patient's heart rhythm and electrical activity.
Ultrasound: Safely provides instant imaging of internal organs, such as the abdominal area.
Thermal Vision: Detects the patient's body temperature and regional heat changes from a distance, without any physical contact.
Injector Probe: Applies necessary medicine injections or fluid transfers automatically, cleanly, and safely.
Project Overview and Mobile Health Vision
VIV-e redefines the traditional hospital experience by democratizing healthcare access in the modern city. As a fully electric mobile clinic, it operates with zero emissions. It allows patients to receive their daily treatments, routine check-ups, and first aid care safely in their own neighborhoods.
One of the most critical benefits of this project is its medical delivery capability. The vehicle features a built-in storage refrigerator and freezer specifically designed for lab-grade sample collection vials. Thanks to this active cooling system, blood or tissue samples collected from the patient are securely stored and delivered to the main hospitals and laboratories without losing their quality. VIV-e is a complete mobile health solution that speeds up the diagnosis process and reduces the heavy workload of hospitals.
Note on Design and Production
All design processes of this project belong entirely to me. No external 3D model sources were used at any stage. I completed all the interior modeling, parts assembly, and final rendering from scratch natively in the 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA environment. I only used the Gemini AI assistant to generate the material textures (screens, aid kit, etc.) and project logos, which I subsequently assigned as materials to my original models.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to @FB and @Y for this event and the incredible opportunity for personal development, as well as for their unwavering support and guidance.
Thanks a lot for reviewing,
Berat Eser
