Medical kiosk
# 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.

### Staffed vs Unstaffed

**Staffed**

Staffed kiosks can do a variety of tests.

**Unstaffed**

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