MedRent (Renting of Medical Equipment)

The high cost and limited availability of medical equipment pose significant barriers to patients in need of home-based care, particularly in underserved regions. MedRent introduces a peer-to-peer medical equipment rental platform designed to bridge this accessibility gap by connecting equipment owners—including individuals and healthcare institutions—with those in need. The platform ensures secure rentals through integrated features such as identity verification, real-time availability, review systems, and support for logistics and maintenance. This paper outlines the MedRent model, system architecture, and operational workflow, and explores its potential to promote affordability, sustainability, and equitable healthcare delivery. By optimizing underutilized medical resources, MedRent fosters a community-driven approach to healthcare support.
