Medical kiosk
Appearance
(Redirected from 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
[edit]Patient self-check-in kiosks can replace the clerks at the front desk.[citation needed]
Diagnostic Kiosks
[edit]Diagnostic kiosks can be used to address shortages of physicians in rural areas throughout the world.[citation needed]
Staffed vs Unstaffed
[edit]Staffed
[edit]Staffed kiosks can do a variety of tests.[1]
Unstaffed
[edit]Unstaffed 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.
