A low-cost community healthcare kiosk

This paper presents a low-cost community healthcare kiosk, which is used in public areas and developed to help people on daily healthcare and long-term chronic disease monitoring. This kiosk integrates some low-cost biological devices and controls them with a built-in industrial computer. A touch-screen based Graphic User Interface and a remote service interface is offered too. It currently supports monitoring ECG, blood pressure, temperature, blood oxygen saturation and weight. The results will be automatically sent to the remote server with 128bit encrypted https protocol and without any user information except an ID number which is delivered by the trusted third-party who will support the kiosk based medical service. Users can query their records via internet and receive reminders and help in case their records should show abnormality. Some trial results are presented at the end of this paper.
