Kerala startup launches first e-health kiosk for better healthcare access

A Kerala-based startup has launched a first-of-its kind digital health kiosk that claims to provide basic diagnostics like blood pressure, blood sugar and heart conditions instantly with utmost accuracy in multiple languages and at extremely low prices.

Prognosis, the kiosk, launched by Versicles Technologies, is equipped with a touch screen that offers video instructions to users to receive accurate readings. It aims to make healthcare facilities more easily accessible.

The company in a release said the kiosk has machines that measure a user's blood pressure, blood sugar, heart conditions (ECG monitor), temperature (wireless Bluetooth thermometer) and weight.

The kiosk (myprognosis.ai/kiosk) provides results in just under a minute, and also offers immediate recommendations if irregularities are detected in an individual's vitals.

Founder of Versicles Technologies Kiran Karunakaran said the company aims to revolutionise the way individuals access basic health checks, bridging the gap between early detection and professional healthcare.

CEO of Versicles Technologies (versicles.com) Manoj Dethan said the health kiosk is an avant-garde startup venture that hospitals across the state can make use of.

Versicles has the credit of launching Vend'N'Go, an innovative food kiosk product that has become a huge success in Kerala.
