Design and development of a multifunctional self-service health screening kiosk

描述（由申请人提供）：由格鲁吉亚杜卢斯的SoloHealth提交的这份快速通道SBIR提案要求拨款建造和测试一个多功能健康筛查亭。我们目前的信息亭原型EyeSite在不到9个月的测试中，已经证明了对低收入、高健康差距人群的有效性，使用次数超过109，000次。我们的目标是将单一功能视力筛查的产品扩展到多功能健康筛查亭，重点关注不成比例地影响非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人的风险因素，包括高 血压、肥胖、压力、饮食和锻炼行为，这些都是心脏病、中风、糖尿病和癌症的重要风险因素。重要的是，拟议的多功能健康和保健亭（HWK）的商业模式支持免费筛查，其中亭被放置在高流量的零售地点，从而为包括农村社区在内的高差距人群提供方便。SoloHealth的目标是在目标社区内应用我们创新的技术和健康营销经验，以减少健康差距。除了健康检查外，还通过提供教育信息和向当地医疗保健提供者提供具体转诊以进行后续治疗来实现这一目标。SoloHealth的HWK是健康筛查亭概念的独特方法，将为用户提供定制的用户报告和相关的健康信息，这些信息将激励他们在必要时寻求进一步的医疗保健和更先进的干预。在第一阶段，我们会为一个多功能互动式检查亭设计所需的软件和硬件规格。在第一阶段结束时，我们将测试一个实验室版本的信息亭。在第二阶段，我们将设计和测试原型。根据调查结果，将在高流量零售中建立6个测试单元，并在基于消费者的功效试验中进行测试。 (

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Fast-Track SBIR proposal submitted by SoloHealth of Duluth, Georgia, requests grant funds to build and test a multifunction health-screening kiosk. Our current kiosk prototype, EyeSite, has demonstrated efficacy in reaching low income, high health disparity populations with over 109,000 uses in less than 9 months of testing. Our goal is to expand the offerings of a single function visual acuity screening, to a multifunctional health screening kiosk, focusing on risk factors that disproportionately impact African Americans and Hispanics including high blood pressure, obesity, stress, and diet and exercise behaviors, all important risk factors for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer. Importantly, the business model of the proposed multifunction Health and Wellness Kiosk (HWK) supports free screening where the kiosk is placed in high traffic retail locations thus providing easy access to high disparity populations including rural communities. The goal of SoloHealth is to apply our innovative use of technology and health marketing experience within the target community to decrease health disparities. This is accomplished by offering, in addition to the health screening, educational information and specific referrals to local healthcare providers for follow up. A unique approach to the health screening kiosk concept, SoloHealth's HWK will provide users with a customized User Report, and relevant health information that will motivate them to seek further healthcare and more advanced intervention as necessary. In Phase I, we will design the necessary software and hardware specifications for a multifunction, interactive screening kiosk. At the end of Phase I we will test a laboratory version of the kiosk. In Phase II, we will design and test a prototype. Based on the findings, 6 beta units will be built and tested in a consumer-based trial of efficacy, in high traffic retail. (
