Rite Aid has recently partnered with HealthSpot to deploy telepresence pharmacy kiosks at 25 Rite Aid pharmacies in Ohio.

By using cloud-based software, according to a HealthSpot press release, users are able to interact with a medical professional via telepresence tools. The kiosk also comes equipped with a variety of medical tools, such as a stethoscope, otoscope and pulse oximeter which the patient can use with the medical professional's instruction.

"Telehealth is a key driver in the revolution of our health care delivery system. HealthSpot brings together a set of unique technologies, devices and local health care providers to create a one-of-a-kind health care experience," HealthSpot CEO Steve Cashman said in the release. "We are thrilled to be working with Rite Aid to pilot this new health care model as the first retail clinic truly integrated with local health systems to expand access to affordable and convenient health care in Ohio."
