Phloton: Last-mile Vaccine Delivery System
Deliver vaccines to millions, who otherwise succumb to vaccine-preventable diseases.
About Phloton
Equitable Access to Vaccine
The developing world faces cold chain challenges for vaccine delivery, especially in the last mile. The lack of a robust vaccine delivery mechanism endangers the life of newborns and infants in rural settings. They need to be protected against preventable life-threatening diseases. WHO estimates that globally 50% of all vaccines manufactured get spoilt, and 5.2 million children die annually, largely due to the lack of immunization. Covid-19 further highlighted these existing inefficiencies, resulting in inequitable vaccine delivery.
Phloton
The project targets the inefficient last-mile vaccine delivery (Primary Health Centre onwards), to develop a standalone and holistic system. The ongoing R&D is to develop a system with 14-hour power backup, solar charging support. The vaccine carrier will provide 2 to 8 degrees Celsius temperature range, powered by AI to create a failsafe system.
A South - South Product
Designed in India and manufactured for the developing world, the solution will augment South-South cooperation.
