ABSTRACT:
Health care ATMs are AI-powered, self-service diagnostic kiosks providing immediate, primary healthcare services, including 60+ screenings (blood pressure, ECG, sugar) and virtual doctor consultations. They fill critical gaps by serving as rapid checkup points in urban locations like malls and metro stations, and as accessible, affordable diagnostic hubs in remote rural areas. Located in high-traffic areas such as shopping malls, metro stations, and office buildings. Utilize high-speed connectivity for instantaneous, up-to-date diagnostic reporting and cloud-based electronic health records. Cater to professionals with limited time, offering fast, automated wellness checks. Provide instant health records, improving the speed of diagnosis and early intervention. Strengthening its digital dominance along with medical and scientific collaboration. Health ATMs are touch-screen automated teller machine-sized machines that can screen vital parameters, like pulse, blood pressure, temperature, body mass composition, blood glucose, oxygen saturation levels and ECG, without any paramedical assistance.
