Omaha, Neb. (September 12, 2025) – CQuence Health is excited to welcome Carecubes to its portfolio of innovative healthcare organizations.

Carecubes, led by CEO Alex Laskey, helps healthcare providers rapidly respond to infectious disease threats with deployable, scalable and compliant isolation environments—protecting patients, staff and communities.

“Once the leading cause of death worldwide, infectious diseases remain a persistent global threat, particularly in low- and middle-income countries,” said Kyle Salem, PhD, CEO of CQuence Health. “Carecubes provides a solution that isolates the pathogen while allowing patients to interact safely with their providers and family. There is a simple elegance to their solution that looked at the problem from a different perspective, and found something that seemed really obvious, and yet it simply wasn’t.”

The Carecube: Innovative, Mobile Isolation Unit

The Carecube is a mobile isolation unit designed for rapid deployment, allowing healthcare organizations to expand isolation capacity in minutes. In traditional models of infectious disease care, patients often wait alone, separated from loved ones, and receive fewer visits from clinicians due to PPE constraints. The Carecube shifts the paradigm by isolating the pathogen, not the patient, allowing for safe, compassionate and efficient care.

“Staff, whether nurses or physicians, often face physical strain donning PPE for every patient encounter, and families are kept away,” said Mike Cassling, Executive Chairman of CQuence Health. “With the Carecube, you don’t need the PPE, it’s built into the cube. Family members can be there too. And because the unit is deployable, the solution can scale to meet global needs, particularly in areas where highly contagious diseases are a major concern.”

A Homegrown Solution with Global Impact

The Carecube is designed for worldwide application, addressing infectious disease challenges in developed and developing regions.

“In areas where highly contagious diseases threaten to spread, the opportunity to stop a spark from turning into a fire makes a huge impact,” said Salem. “Carecubes’s solution has the potential to change healthcare outcomes not just for hundreds of people, but for millions at a time.”

The technology behind Carecubes has roots in Omaha, developed in collaboration with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, a global leader in biocontainment and infectious disease control.

“To have a great product and a great company that we’ve partnered with, with roots right here in Omaha, is pretty cool,” said Cassling.

Strategic Partnership for Growth

The strategic partnership between CQuence Health and Carecubes equips the rapidly growing company with guidance and resources to scale sustainably and reach providers worldwide.

“Alex and his team exemplify the leadership, culture and product-market fit needed to scale globally,” said Cassling. “We’re proud to help them bring this impactful solution to healthcare providers around the world.”

Carecubes represents a new era of infectious disease preparedness, one where healthcare organizations can respond faster, prioritize provider safety and deliver care with compassion.
