“…Four of the interventions were not theoretically grounded. [32][33][34]39 Interventions that were theoretically grounded all used some type of decision-oriented health behavior theory. Due to the diversity of the interventions and the scope of this analysis, it is not feasible to comparatively assess whether having a theoretical foundation made a difference in outcomes.…”

Implementation of eHealth is now considered an effective way to address concerns about the health status of health care consumers. The purpose of this study was to review empirically based eHealth intervention strategies designed to improve health literacy among consumers in a variety of settings. A computerized search of 16 databases of abstracts (e.g. Biomedical Reference Collection, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Computers & Applied Sciences Complete, Health Technology Assessments, MEDLINE) were explored in a systematic fashion to assess the presence of eHealth applications targeting health literacy. Compared to control interventions, the interventions using technology reported significant outcomes or showed promise for future positive outcomes regarding health literacy in a variety of settings, for different diseases, and with diverse samples. This review has indicated that it is feasible to deliver eHealth interventions specifically designed to improve health literacy skills for people with different health conditions, risk factors, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

“…They found that people visited the kiosk, but did not complete interviews. 20 In the model demonstrated, a health professional assists the patient in navigating the site and responds to patient questions. Pharmacy students acting as research assistants drew on their training in medications and patient education and interacted with patients.…”

The feasibility of using a computer kiosk to deliver medication information to patients was tested in a community pharmacy environment. Viewers used a computer kiosk to access the National Library of Medicine (NLM) MedlinePlus 1 website. In four weeks, 198 pharmacy patients viewed the website and completed brief questionnaires about their experiences. The majority of patients (63%) were female and between 46 and 65 years of age (48%). Few (8%) had used the NLM website before. Patient age was associated with access to the Internet, previous use of the NLM website, and other habits regarding medication information sources; however, the differences were not as great as anticipated.

“…IPC tools are more preferred choice therefore we used "human" interface as one of the key strategy in our kiosk, both at facility and community [7]. [14]. Our experience shows that the services at community kiosk need to be designed as per the needs of catchment population for kiosk model to be effective [19].…”

Kiosk is a client centric drop-in centre for TB information and services established in urban and peri-urban (slum) settings to provide outreach services under project Axshya. The main objective of the study was to demonstrate the efficacy and feasibility of scaling-up of the model to provide TB services. The assessment was carried out with the help of project recording and reporting formats used to document the information and services provided in the Kiosk from April 2016 to March 2017. The results from retrospective data analysis for services provided at 20 kiosks benefited 16,871 clients; of these 11,252 (66.7%), 1339 (7.9%), 848 (5%), 2911 (17.2%), (1.4%), 273 (1.6%) benefited with TB information, Flexi-DOT, sputum-collection-transportation (SCT), counselling, and domiciliary care respectively. Through active case finding (ACF); 126,893 households were visited and 3593 presumptive-TB-patients received SCT services. A total of 329 TB patients were identified and linked to treatment services of national TB programme. "Kiosk" as a client centric approach would be a novel concept to ensure TB information, TB related services and contribute to ongoing efforts of TB case finding.
