In the past, retail pharmacies used self-serve kiosks as little more than time fillers, enabling patrons to check their blood pressure and learn a few medical facts while they waited for their prescriptions to be filled.
As telehealth technology progresses, however, these kiosks are taking on much more important roles in consumers’ (i.e. patients’) lives. No longer mere novelties, telehealth-enabled kiosks are providing meaningful healthcare services and have the potential to become a major contributor to much-needed healthcare reform.
