Medical Kiosks

Medical Kiosks

Medical kiosks are computerized, electronic kiosks. Some function as patient check-in stations at hospitals or doctors' offices. Other, more advanced kiosks can perform basic diagnostic tests on patients. Most medical kiosks have touchscreens and can be classified as interactive kiosks.

Check-in Kiosks

Medhost[1], HealthAsyst, and MedServ have all developed patient self-check-in kiosks. These just replace the clerks in the front desk.

Diagnostic Kiosks

Diagnostic kiosks can be used to address shortages of physicians in rural areas throughout the world.

Manned vs Unmanned

Manned

Manned kiosks, such as Cisco's HealthPresence[2][3], can do more tests than unmanned ones. Their disadvantage is that an RN (registered nurse) has to be on site.

Unmanned

Unmanned kiosks, such as the Freescale Flexus-MM kiosks[4], require only monthly maintenance. Although tests can still be done (blood pressure, spirometry, heart rate and ECG, blood glucose, and height/weight/BMI), there is not much variety.
