A personal pop-up pod includes an interior chamber formed by a connection of several panels: a front panel, a rear panel, left and right side panels, and a top panel. The personal pop-up pod also includes first and second arm apertures formed in the rear panel, a window in one of the side panels, and a zipper arranged to open and close the window. A bottom edge of the front panel includes an elastic strip so that the bottom edge of the front panel may closely conform around a region of a patient when the patient's head is located in the interior chamber. As such, the personal pop-up pod defines a containment that allows a patient to undergo a medical examination or medical procedure while protecting one or both of the caregiver and the patient from contamination of each other.

A system for providing shade onto a surface is described herein. The system includes a canopy configured for engagement with, and aerial suspension by, a frame. The frame includes a plurality of sections configured for end-to-end alignment from a left end to a right end of the frame. Each section is configured to engage with any adjacent sections to form the frame. The ends of the frame are secured to the surface, thereby aerially suspending the canopy and providing shade to the surface.
