What is unique in the Stayhealthy HealthCenter approach goes beyond the kiosk hardware,” Collins said at the time. “Anyone can make a blood pressure machine or health station. It’s the science and research behind the solution, and our bundling of both the hardware and software technologies into a HIPAA and ADA-compliant, Web-enabled and user friendly total wellness management system that is unique. This is what the average consumer is looking for in today’s consumer-driven healthcare environment.”
The newly merged company will have 6,000 kiosks, with contracts for 10,000 by the beginning of 2015.

The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles is preparing to test self-service kiosks in supermarkets in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus, according to the Ohio Department of Public Safety.
The machines are part of the agency’s “BMV4U” pilot project set to start in the next six to eight weeks, said DPS Director John Born.
Kiosk users will just need to swipe their driver’s license and credit card, and the machine will spit out vehicle registration stickers, Born said. The BMV won’t charge any additional fee for using the machines, DPS said, though credit-card charges will apply.

McDonalds kiosk is simply responding to competition from other chains that have offered “enhanced burgers,” said Hilda Fahey, a company representative who was in Simcoe to help with the changeover to the new services at the Queensway East restaurant.

“We have 35 different people we didn’t have before,” Maskell said on a Wednesday afternoon while preparing for an opening that night for the new services.
More people are needed in the kitchen, he explained, to service the customers out front.
McDonald’s also has added what it calls “guest experience leaders” – women and men in uniform who are in front of the counter helping people to their seats, delivering them food, or assisting them at the kiosk.
Mary Tout, who started doing the job last February, said part of her role includes letting customers about what’s going on in the area.
“People love the socialization,” she said. “They think because there’s a kiosk, they’re not going to be speaking to a person.”

Kiosk Hacks – Movies to USB
