What Is a Health ATM?

Definition

A Health ATM is a self service digital health kiosk that lets a person check multiple health parameters, like blood pressure, BMI, blood sugar, ECG and oxygen levels, on their own in a few minutes, then receive an instant report and consult a doctor via built in telemedicine. Just as a bank ATM gives cash on demand, a Health ATM gives a health checkup on demand.
