Doctor ‘phone booths’ offer diagnoses and dispense drugs: US
Busy people, apparently, need healthcare anytime, anywhere, and now an American company is obliging with a phone-booth-style doctor’s office.
The medical stations developed by OnMed offer consultations with real doctors who work remotely via ultra-high definition cameras that even allow doctors to look down a patient’s throat or check out a tiny skin lesion.
The booths can also dispense hundreds of drugs, print off scripts, take blood pressures and have in-floor digital scales that provide the patient’s height, weight and BMI
Thermal imaging enables measurement of the patient’s temperature and also helps diagnose infection.
