A small community medical post or village clinic can operate more safely, consistently, and efficiently using a fully local Civic AI system running on low-cost hardware.
A Micro-Clinic Node typically includes:
A modest laptop or mini-PC (no GPU, no cloud)
The Civic Attestation Protocol (CAP)
A local vector database
A private health Canon tailored to community needs
A clinician-facing, ultra-simple user interface
A local Civic AI assistant for medical workflow support
This allows the clinic to provide steady service even where infrastructure is unstable.

conflict-impacted areas
refugee camps
urban informal settlements
