Health Info at Your Fingertips: Need to review lab results or refill prescriptions? Kiosks offer secure access to your medical records, allowing you to download documents, update insurance details, and even schedule future appointments, all on your own terms.

Empowered Health Assessments: Want to check your blood pressure or BMI? Some kiosks are equipped with basic screening tools, letting you take these assessments independently and track your progress over time. This empowers patients to actively participate in their healthcare journey.

Knowledge is Power: Kiosks aren’t just transaction machines; they can be educational hubs. Imagine interactive displays providing health information on specific conditions, offering animated demonstrations of medical procedures, or even recommending helpful resources. This empowers patients with knowledge and builds confidence in their healthcare choices.

Beyond the Hospital Walls: Healthcare kiosks aren’t confined to clinics. Imagine them in pharmacies, supermarkets, or even public transportation hubs. They could offer basic health screenings, connect patients with virtual consultations, or even dispense emergency medications. This expands access to essential healthcare services for underserved communities.

So, the next time you see a healthcare kiosk, remember, it’s not just a machine. It’s a tool for empowerment, convenience, and improved access to care. Healthcare is evolving, and these self-service superheroes are playing a vital role in this transformation.

Healthcare Kiosks – SoloHealth raises $2.4M + Cleveland Clinic

Health kiosk company SoloHealth has changed its name to Pursuant Health and raised $2.4 million in equity and securities, according to an SEC filing. Per the company’s website, the name change reflects a new partnership with Cleveland Clinic Wellness, which the company embarked on at the end of March. This will add a workplace wellness business to the company’s existing public kiosk business.

The MindKare kiosk is a freestanding computer station with an interactive display screen that provides users with a quick and easy way to check on their mental and behavioral health.

The HealthSpark Foundation, which formerly operated as the North Penn Community Health Foundation based in Colmar, Pa., is providing about $60,000 for the purchase, installation and related training for MindKare kiosks at five locations in Montgomery County. HealthSpark launched the initiative in a partnership with Screening for Mental Health Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Wellesley Hills, Mass., and the Philadelphia-based Thomas Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation.

 

Russell Johnson, Spark Foundation’s president and CEO, said too often health assessment by primary-care doctors focuses on the neck down.

 

“There another part of the body that needs attention as well,” he said. “We know that early intervention for mental and behavioral health disorders is critical.”

HealthSpot assets snapped up by Rite Aid for $1.15M

Retail pharmacy chain Rite Aid has purchased the assets of shuttered telemedicine kiosk company HealthSpot at auction for $1.15 million, according to MedCity News.

The future of telehealth for Rite Aid is uncertain because the future of Rite Aid is uncertain. Last October Walgreen said they would acquire Rite Aid. But the FTC has not okayed that merger.

 

The merger result would have a 46.5 percent market, compared to CVS’s 30 percent. The FTC recently killed the proposed Staples-Office Depot merger. 

 

Note that Higi, another kiosk company, also works with Rite Aid. Higi is to install +4,000 kiosks to Rite Aid stores — much bigger than company ever had with HealthSpot.
