Portable medical cart system

摘要

A portable cart is convertible between a collapsed state for improving storage and transportation, and an expanded state for deploying a modular workstation that may be used for remote medical care. The cart includes a collapsible frame having support members that are pivotable between an open and closed position, and a central upright frame that guides a strut member from a retracted position to an upright extended position. The strut member is lockable in the upright position, and the workstation module is configured to mount to and dismount from the extended strut member. The workstation module may include an interface assembly that enables a patient to communicate with a doctor that is remotely located from the cart. A power module may also be mounted to the cart for powering the workstation module. The cart may easily be transported or stored by dismounting the workstation module and collapsing the frame.
