Telemedicine takes the next step with walk-in kiosks in retail settings

Telemedicine is a growing field. It services those who are far from medical facilities, but is also turning into the 21st century's answer to doctors making house calls. HealthSpot is a small, walk-in telemedicine kiosk designed to deliver access to high-quality healthcare in retail stores and other non-traditional settings. The stations offer high-definition videoconferencing and telehealth tools for gathering data about various vital signs. Patients will reportedly pay USD 60 to USD 80 per visit.
