Pimpri Chinchwad, a city in India, will install health information kiosks at three hospitals: Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital, Talera Hospital and Yamuna Nagar Hospital, according to a Hindustan Times report.

The touchscreen kiosk allows individuals to access personal health information through any internet-connected web browser.

The city municipal corporation signed an agreement with Hewlett Packard Enterprises to provide the machines.

The kiosks can screen more than 50 health parameters, including height, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, body temperature and invasive and non-invasive blood tests, as well as oxygen saturation levels and heart check-up within 10 minutes, said Shekhar Singh, municipal corporation commissioner.

All services will be available for free to patients, he said.
