Kiosks are interactive terminals that allow computer-enabled information exchange for commerce, education, entertainment, and other purposes. Patient self-service kiosks are increasingly being used in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities around the world to allow patients to complete tasks in less time. Some of the common activities conducted on patient self-service kiosks are appointment booking, updating personal information and related details, co-payments, payment collection, and so on. Seamless data quality, a reduction in workload on staff and waiting time, uniformity in processes like patient registration, and an improved patient experience are the prime benefits of self-service kiosks that drive the market's growth. Therefore, factors such as a better patient experience, improved service, saving the time of both patients and healthcare staff, better opportunities for service promotion and advertising, and the benefit of data analytics for patient behavior assessment drive this market.
On the other hand, a lack of awareness in the eastern parts of the world, as well as a preference for investing in basic health care rather than kiosks in underdeveloped markets, are primarily restraining market growth for patient self-service kiosks. Some other factors that hold back the growth of the patient self-service kiosk market are high initial investment, the need for scheduled maintenance, and the potential risk of data theft and information breach. Novel patient self-service kiosks are customizable and can be made suitable for any healthcare setting. At present, kiosks are widely used for displaying hospital information such as operating hours, department locations, and floor maps. Modern kiosks also support several media formats and thus also serve as bulletin boards for supplying news and events. Patient self-service kiosks are also linked with hospital information systems, thereby allowing patients to check their appointments, medical records, and other such information without staff assistance.
