A modular 'hospital room in a box' could dramatically slash the cost of building hospitals

EIR Healthcare has built a modular hospital room that's set to be unveiled next month in Philadelphia. MedModular features antimicrobial surfaces that reduce the chance of hospital-acquired infections, grab bars for safe movement around the room, and more. CEO Grant Geiger told Business Insider that hospitals can be equipped with MedModular rooms faster and cheaper than using traditional rooms.
