My Kiosk

I designed and built this Kiosk system from the ground up a couple of years ago and it's still working great (Well, somebody messed with it and now there's a little black screen problem... easily fixed). It can pull patient appointments when they enter their name on the screen or swipe their credit card or frequent flyer card and enter their date of birth. It's fully HIPAA and ADA compliant. The screen can easily be accessed from a wheelchair or scooter. I designed the box (our maintenance department built it, but they deviated from the specs). I created all the on-screen graphics and programming from scratch. It's written in PERL and hooked it directly into our MySQL patient databases and patient scheduling databases. I was going to put a proximity monitor on it in case the user walked away, but instead opted for a time out. We recycled an old computer, but we did get a little extravagant with the touch screen. We spent $314 on it. I still feel guilty about that.
