Hyderabad’s government hospitals have introduced “health ATMs”, self-service kiosks that can perform over 130 diagnostic tests including blood work, ECG, and organ function tests, with results available in minutes.
Developed by Cloud Spital, the machines are linked to digital health platforms like ABHA and E-Sanjeevni, enabling seamless patient data access. Early validation shows 100% accuracy compared to standard labs.
Officials say these ATMs could ease hospital workloads, provide 24/7 access, and may be expanded to more health centers if the pilot proves successful.
This is a great initiative and will definitely help a lot. Hopefully, it expands across India soon so more people can benefit from quicker access to diagnostics.
Health ATMs are**automated, touch-screen kiosks that provide self-service diagnostic tests for over 40-60 vital parameters like blood pressure, glucose, body mass, and ECG, along with instant health reports**.They also facilitate telemedicine by allowing users to consult with doctors via video call, store health records, and access them online.
Health ATMs and diagnostics are good to share. But if a patient has been misled. But if sometimes not for any purpose, it just flows into the environment, then what happened? No one knows ………
This is an incredible and futuristic development. The idea of a “health ATM” that can perform over 130 tests in minutes is truly revolutionary. If this technology proves reliable, it could dramatically improve access to healthcare and reduce the workload on hospitals.
Health ATMs in Hyderabad represent a major step toward accessible and affordable diagnostics. By offering quick tests for vital parameters and common conditions, they reduce hospital crowding, save time, and empower individuals to monitor their health proactively. This innovation is especially valuable in urban areas with high patient loads, bridging the gap between convenience and preventive care.
Great Initiative by Telangana’s government. This can improve more reliability, convenience and access to patients who need quick treatment or diagnosis. I hope this pilot may give good results.
That’s a great initiative by the government. They can be of an immensive support especially in terms of cost-effectiveness for the economically vulnerable population,as the diagnostic tests in private labs cost an arm and a leg.
