SoloHealth, a consumer-driven health care technology company, was awarded the "Intel Innovation Award," during the 2011 Health IT Leadership Summit last week in Atlanta.

SoloHealthwas recognized for its next-generation health-and-wellness kiosk, the SoloHealth Station. Presented for the first time this year, the "Intel Innovation Award" recognizes the company developing leading-edge technology and exceptional innovation to improve healthcare delivery and processes.

The company earned the recognition for its SoloHealth Station platform that provides screenings for vision, blood pressure, weight and body mass index, and an overall health assessment free of charge. SoloHealth also partners with local health systems and physicians in each market and connects consumers to a database of local professionals helping to facilitate people into action. The company plans to provide highly personalized and interactive healthcare opportunities for consumers, advertisers and retailers by placing kiosks in high-traffic retail locations.

"To be recognized by Intel, a perennial technology brand, and among the other worthy finalists, is something that makes us absolutely thrilled, honored and humbled," said SoloHealth CEO & Founder Bart Foster. "This honor comes as we ready for our 2012 nationwide rollout of our SoloHealth Station and only fuels the passion and excitement that our entire team feels as we approach a very pivotal and exciting time for SoloHealth."

Currently in select U.S. test markets and retail locations, the SoloHealth Station will provide users a multi-platform ecosystem to access and interact with data through the kiosks at retail locations, online/digital, mobile and emerging platforms, giving consumers and medical professionals the ease of interaction from multiple touch points.
