NACCHO presents the concept of TELEHEALTH kiosks, that could be a low cost affordable solution for our ACCH’s servicing remote communities. In the USA they only cost US$10,000patients will be able to visit the closest HealthSpot Station and talk with a board-certified doctor via video conferencing. Inside each 10-foot kiosk are a scale and television dashboard as well as a variety of common medical toolsThe remotely located doctor guides the patient as he or she uses the stethoscope and other tools for gathering data about various vital signs, which are then displayed graphically.HealthSpot unveiled its kiosks at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January. Currently, it’s pilot-testing its concept in Ohio urgent care clinics and a children’s hospital. Pricing on the stations will reportedly be between $10,000 and $15,000; patients will pay $60-80 per visit.
