In response to this demand, we proudly introduce our 10.1-Inch Free-standing Hospital Information Kiosk — a smart, sleek, and powerful solution designed to transform the way hospitals interact with patients.

With its advanced functionality and compact design, this kiosk is not just an information terminal — it is an integral part of the smart hospital ecosystem. It enhances the patient journey from entry to discharge, significantly reduces waiting time, and improves access to vital medical services. In this article, we will take an in-depth look at the features, technical advantages, practical use cases, and long-term business benefits of adopting this all-in-one hospital kiosk solution.

Section 2: Core Functionalities

Our hospital information kiosk serves as a multifunctional digital terminal offering a wide range of patient-facing services. These include:

1. Patient Information Query

Patients can easily access personal visit records, medical history, insurance status, and billing information using the self-service terminal. The kiosk reduces dependency on front-desk staff and allows 24/7 information access.

2. Appointment Scheduling and Registration

The kiosk streamlines appointment booking by integrating directly with the hospital’s scheduling system. Patients can:

• View available time slots for different departments

• Select physicians based on specialty and availability

• Register and print appointment confirmation receipts

This eliminates manual scheduling bottlenecks and accelerates the registration process.

3. Treatment and Progress Tracking

Patients undergoing long-term treatment or inpatient care can use the kiosk to view real-time updates on their treatment plan, consultation records, medication orders, and discharge summaries.

4. Diagnostic Report Status Check

Rather than returning to the counter or waiting for a call, patients can independently check whether laboratory and imaging reports (e.g., blood tests, MRIs, CT scans) are ready for review or collection.

5. Hospital Navigation and Department Locator

The kiosk is equipped with interactive hospital maps and floor plans to help patients quickly locate clinics, diagnostic rooms, wards, payment centers, and pharmacies — reducing confusion and travel time within large facilities.
