Chandigarh, October 8

Ever put off going for complete body check-up, either because of the cost or shortage of time required to visit various places for all tests? The ICMR-Centre for Innovation and Bio Design (CIBioD) at the PGI here has come up with a perfect solution in the form of health kiosks, which are the size of a vending machine.

These one-stop shops will offer a wide variety of tests — checking of body temperature, complete blood count, blood pressure, ECG etc. These kiosks, which are the GenNext of virtual clinics, will also offer tele-consultation from different medical specialists. The first of the kiosks is being set up in Chandigarh on October 17, said Dr Varinder Garg, head of CIBioD. — TNS
