In my latest post for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's "Healthflock" blog, titled "Recent Consumer Healthcare Data Supports Self-Service, Education & Empowerment Mantra," I have included some health results from thousands of screenings at our SoloHealth Station health and wellness kiosk.
These results illustrate just how many health issues Americans have today and why it's so important to find innovative ways to reach people and get them to take charge of their health.
Nearly 75% of all SoloHealth Station users who completed a weight/BMI screening, for instance, were overweight or obese (43% of all users were obese). For more detailed results, you can read the complete post here.
We are a nation in need of more affordable, easily accessible healthcare options and here at SoloHealth we aim to be part of the solution.
