The Essity Prudhoe Mill in Prudhoe, U.K. deployed a health check kiosk as part of Men's Health Month. With this machine, employees can check their blood pressure, heart rate, body fat percentage, BMI, weight, stress levels and height, according to a report by Hexham Currant.

"You also get a personal health report via email, with cardiovascular and stress surveys, plus advice on next steps to improve your wellbeing," Alex Rippon, site assistant, said in the report.

Half of the employees have already used these kiosks. The mill is the largest employer at Prudhoe.
