Benefits[edit | edit source]

There are several benefits to using a medical kiosk. These include:

  • Increased access to healthcare services: Medical kiosks can be placed in a variety of locations, making healthcare services more accessible to a wider range of people.

Challenges[edit | edit source]

Despite the many benefits of medical kiosks, there are also some challenges associated with their use. These include:
