Question 1

What is a Health ATM or health kiosk?

Accepted Answer

A Clinics on Cloud Health ATM is a self-service health kiosk that runs a complete check-up in about 10 minutes, engineered for 65+ clinical parameters: vitals, blood pressure, ECG, blood sugar and HbA1c, lipids, haemoglobin, lung function, vision and hearing. If anything needs attention you can speak to a doctor by video, and your report arrives on your phone.

Question 2

Where can I get a quick health check in South Africa?

Accepted Answer

Health ATMs and Health Lounges are being placed in workplaces, pharmacies, malls, mines and community sites in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and beyond. Contact us to find the nearest site or to host one.

Question 3

What is a Box Clinic?

Accepted Answer

A Box Clinic is a complete portable clinic in a rugged wheeled case. Community health workers, NGOs and outreach teams carry it to homes, mine hostels, farms, schools and rural villages to screen patients and connect them to a doctor, even where there is no fixed clinic.

Question 4

Can it support mining and occupational health programmes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Health ATMs and Box Clinics capture blood pressure, glucose, lung function, hearing, vision and more at the workplace, and share results with your occupational health practitioner. They support, but do not replace, statutory medical surveillance and certificates of fitness issued by qualified practitioners.

Question 5

Is my health information protected under POPIA?

Accepted Answer

Health information is special personal information under POPIA. Your results are collected with your consent, encrypted, and shared only with your permission. Employers see aggregated, anonymised insights, never individual results.

Question 6

Does it work during power cuts or without signal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The kiosk and Box Clinic can capture readings offline and sync when connectivity returns, and multi-day battery backup keeps screening running. A live teleconsultation needs a data connection.

Question 7

Which languages are available?

Accepted Answer

The voice-guided interface is multilingual and configured per deployment, for example English, isiZulu, Afrikaans, isiXhosa, French or Kiswahili, so first-time users can follow along with confidence.

Question 8

Will my medical aid cover a kiosk check?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your scheme and plan. Many medical schemes include annual screening and wellness benefits, and many employer and insurer programmes offer our screening at no cost to members. Contact us to check.
