Detailed Description

Health care has always been a primary concern for man. Health is not just mere absence of illness or diseases. It is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being (WHO, 1946). Due to the changing lifestyle of the population and with the growth in modernization, people are forced to lead a hurried day and maintain an unhealthy diet, thus leading to various health issues. The nature of these health problems are such that they affect both genders equally and in early ages leading to health deterioration. The major problem is that often initial discomfort is ignored. The visible symptoms appear too late to take a precautionary measure thus leading to a chronic condition. Hence awareness and frequent health checkups are necessary for remaining on the safer side of life. Providing easier means to take control of the health is the solution this project is proposing. The idea is to create an automated self-service health kiosk so that the consumer can have quick, convenient and affordable access to the knowledge of his state of wellness and avail primary and preventive services on time. The kiosk can be installed in high traffic areas such as malls, gyms and corporate lounges. People can take five to ten minutes out of their busy schedules to get a comprehensive primary health report. This report can be used as a baseline for future consultations if necessary. Thus people can take charge of their health condition and well being can be ensured.
