SoloHealth to roll out self-service health screen kiosks in retail stores

According to eweek.com, SoloHealth has announced plans to put self-service health kiosks in major retail stores to allow customers to self-test for conditions like diabetes, obesity and hypertension and to check their vision and hearing. The kiosks will then dispense recommendations for follow-up care.

The company announced last month that it had received a $1.2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to expand its EyeSite vision-screening kiosk into a full self-screening station. The existing EyeSite kiosk can be found in stores such as Kroger and Schnucks in Atlanta, Houston, St. Louis and other cities.
