Hygeia, a new company based in Atlanta, Georgia, has developed a Kiosk that can help quickly measure things like blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and the person’s weight.

That is done via a paired up tablet or smartphone that can control what’s happening on the screen built into the kiosk.
Having all the measurement tools, including being able to manually enter data about things like the patient’s height, ***, and reason for visit, can Speed up the gathering of vitals, move more people Through the process, and get Patients to see their doctors in a faster fashion.
