Future outbreaks may involve pathogens for which no profitable commercial market exists. A useful solution requires distributed manufacturing, adaptable platforms, pre-negotiated procurement, and equitable access before an outbreak occurs. The solution must work with limited capital, intermittent services, and local maintenance capacity. The research opportunity is to define measurable success criteria, test the approach in realistic settings, identify failure modes, and create a pathway from prototype to accountable deployment.
