“…Most papers (6/10, 60%) described kiosks implemented in retirement communities for the use of older adults. Approximately 30% (3/10) of papers related to the same kiosk for a residential community of older adults in New Zealand [ 97 , 98 , 116 ]. Another kiosk was implemented in an urgent care pharmacy [ 27 ], and another, aimed at community-dwelling older adults, was tested in a laboratory setting [ 117 ].…”

“…Health information collected by the kiosk was transmitted electronically to relevant health care professionals who could monitor ongoing conditions such as hypertension [ 119 ] and cognitive decline [ 120 , 121 ]. In some cases, users were also able to download their information and observe changes over time [ 97 , 98 , 116 ]. A kiosk designed for a rural community center in India, although not yet widely implemented, also included functions that enable the detection of malaria and tuberculosis and upload of radiology images [ 118 ].…”

“…Only 20% (2/10) of papers detailing kiosks providing telemonitoring or teleconsultation services described the training required to implement the kiosk. Wilamowska et al [ 116 ] briefly noted that the kiosk vendor organized 2 training sessions to familiarize the research team members with the design and details of the kiosk and its output data. Training for end users (older adults) was not described [ 116 ].…”

Background Health kiosks are publicly accessible computing devices that provide access to services, including health information provision, clinical measurement collection, patient self–check-in, telemonitoring, and teleconsultation. Although the increase in internet access and ownership of smart personal devices could make kiosks redundant, recent reports have predicted that the market will continue to grow. Objective We seek to clarify the current and future roles of health kiosks by investigating the settings, roles, and clinical domains in which kiosks are used; whether usability evaluations of health kiosks are being reported, and if so, what methods are being used; and what the barriers and facilitators are for the deployment of kiosks. Methods We conducted a scoping review using a bibliographic search of Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science databases for studies and other publications between January 2009 and June 2020. Eligible papers described the implementation as primary studies, systematic reviews, or news and feature articles. Additional reports were obtained by manual searching and querying the key informants. For each article, we abstracted settings, purposes, health domains, whether the kiosk was opportunistic or integrated with a clinical pathway, and whether the kiosk included usability testing. We then summarized the data in frequency tables. Results A total of 141 articles were included, of which 134 (95%) were primary studies, and 7 (5%) were reviews. Approximately 47% (63/134) of the primary studies described kiosks in secondary care settings. Other settings included community (32/134, 23.9%), primary care (24/134, 17.9%), and pharmacies (8/134, 6%). The most common roles of the health kiosks were providing health information (47/134, 35.1%), taking clinical measurements (28/134, 20.9%), screening (17/134, 12.7%), telehealth (11/134, 8.2%), and patient registration (8/134, 6.0%). The 5 most frequent health domains were multiple conditions (33/134, 24.6%), HIV (10/134, 7.5%), hypertension (10/134, 7.5%), pediatric injuries (7/134, 5.2%), health and well-being (6/134, 4.5%), and drug monitoring (6/134, 4.5%). Kiosks were integrated into the clinical pathway in 70.1% (94/134) of studies, opportunistic kiosks accounted for 23.9% (32/134) of studies, and in 6% (8/134) of studies, kiosks were used in both. Usability evaluations of kiosks were reported in 20.1% (27/134) of papers. Barriers (e.g., use of expensive proprietary software) and enablers (e.g., handling of on-demand consultations) of deploying health kiosks were identified. Conclusions Health kiosks still play a vital role in the health care system, including collecting clinical measurements and providing access to web-based health services and information to those with little or no digital literacy skills and others without personal internet access. We identified research gaps, such as training needs for teleconsultations and scant reporting on usability evaluation methods.
