What is the CARE System?

SMRT1 CARE System

The SMRT1 Health Community Action Response & Education (CARE) System, represents a revolutionary new approach to community healthcare delivery and connection, that places human needs at the center of technological innovation.  By combining advanced automation technology with compassionate engineering and design, we have transformed traditional vending machines into comprehensive community health dispensing platforms.

Through preventive resource distribution, education, and data collection, the SMRT1 CARE System helps communities address healthcare needs before they become emergencies. The system ensures continuous 24/7 access during staffing transitions and policy changes while reducing costs and collecting valuable non-identifying data to inform local healthcare decisions.
