Medical imaging like MRI. Put it in a truck trailer and tour the underserved communities.

Unfortunately, States have medical device approval hurdles which often explicitly consider competition, and prohibit the economic competition.



MRIs draw a boatload of power to keep liquid helium liquid, even when "off".. just account for a pretty big generator in that truck, and make very sure you don't get stranded without heavy power overnight.
