Overview

A medical kiosk is a standalone structure that provides healthcare services. These kiosks are typically equipped with a computer, a touchscreen interface, and other necessary equipment to provide a range of healthcare services. The services provided by a medical kiosk can vary greatly, depending on the specific kiosk. Some kiosks are designed to provide basic health information, while others can perform more complex medical procedures.

• Blood pressure monitoring
• Body mass index (BMI) calculation
• Health screenings

• Telemedicine consultations

Benefits

There are several benefits to using a medical kiosk. These include:

• Increased access to healthcare services: Medical kiosks can be placed in a variety of locations, making healthcare services more accessible to a wider range of people.

Challenges
