Medical kiosk

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

Patient self-check-in kiosks can replace the clerks at 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 can do a variety of tests.^[1]

Unmanned

Unmanned kiosks require only monthly maintenance.^[2] Although tests can still be done (blood pressure, spirometry, heart rate and ECG, blood glucose, and height/weight/BMI), there is not much variety.
