Government may deploy medical kiosks

December 19, 2011

The federal government may soon deploy medical kiosks for the military and other government and international organizations, such as the United Nations, according to a story in the Columbus Business First.

Dublin-Ohio based HealthSpot, creator of the Care4 Station, is partnering with Mission Essential Personnel of Columbus to market and sell the kiosks.

The Care4 Station allows patients to enter a kiosk with a video link to either a family doctor who has a computer with a webcam or a doctor within HealthSpot's network, CEO Steve Cashman said in the story. The kiosk allows patients to measure blood pressure, heart beat, temperature, and other vital signs.

The stations should roll out in full production during the first quarter of 2012 in multiple states, but Cashman declined to say where, other than in Ohio.
