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

描述(由申请人提供)：这份由佐治亚州德卢斯的SoloHealth提交的快速通道SBIR提案，请求拨款建造和测试多功能健康筛查亭。我们目前的Kiosk原型EyeSite在不到9个月的测试中已经证明了在接触到超过10.9万次使用的低收入、高度健康差距人群方面的有效性。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，专注于对非裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人产生不成比例影响的风险因素，包括高 血压、肥胖、压力、饮食和锻炼行为，都是心脏病、中风、糖尿病和癌症的重要风险因素。重要的是，拟议的多功能健康与健康服务亭(HWK)的商业模式支持免费筛查，该服务亭放置在人流量较高的零售地点，从而为包括农村社区在内的高差距人群提供便利。SoloHealth的目标是在目标社区内应用我们对技术和健康营销经验的创新使用，以减少健康差距。这是通过提供健康筛查、教育信息和向当地医疗保健提供者进行跟进的具体转介来实现的。作为健康筛查亭概念的独特方法，SoloHealth的HWK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高级的干预。在第一阶段，我们会为多功能互动检查亭设计所需的软件和硬件规格。在第一阶段结束时，我们将测试该自助服务亭的实验室版本。在第二阶段，我们将设计和测试原型。根据这一发现，将在高流量零售市场以消费者为基础的疗效试验中建造并测试6个Beta单元。 (与公共卫生相关的声明)：预防性保健是抵御美国民众面临的慢性疾病沉重负担的第一道防线。一个免费的健康和健康亭，提供视力、血压、体重、压力、饮食和锻炼行为的健康筛查，将为无法获得传统医生或诊所健康筛查的人群提供优势，并将促使医疗保健专业人员进行后续护理。

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. (PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE STATEMENT): Preventive health care is the first line of defense against the overwhelming burden of chronic disease facing the American population. A free health and wellness kiosk that provides health screening for visual acuity, blood pressure, weight, stress and diet and exercise behaviors will offer advantages to populations who lack access to traditional physician based or clinic based health screening and will prompt follow up care with healthcare professionals.
