An explanation from the CDC website regading the use of this kiosk:

The Colorado Prevention Center recently donated a Cardiac Risk Assessment kiosk to the Middle Park Medical Foundation. As a service to the public, the Foundation decided to house the kiosk at the Kremmling Mercantile, near the pharmacy. The intention is for people to be able to enter in information regarding their health and have a print out of recommended plans for better cardiac health. The Middle Park Medical Foundation is grateful to the CPC for their donation.

In Public settings: Health-e-Solutions is an interactive cardiovascular disease risk assessment delivered via a touchscreen computer kiosk. In less than 3 minutes, individuals obtain a customized heart disease risk score and recommendations to reduce their risk. Through a statewide grant, kiosks have been placed at health fairs, physician offices and public settings.

In 2006 and 2007, CPC collaborated with 9Health Fair and Colorado’s Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) to bring kiosks to 65 health fairs around the state. Nearly 9000 individuals completed the cardiovascular risk assessment at the fairs. In a pilot program, individuals found to be at high risk for heart disease received follow-up phone calls from our CPC nurse to motivate entry into treatment and to enhance their understanding of heart disease risk.
