Self measurement kiosk for vital signs
With the Alviscan self-measurement kiosk, patients can independently measure their vital signs before having an appointment with a healthcare professional. By following the on-screen instructions, patients can easily take the measurements themselves. The measurement results are automatically stored in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) and are immediately available to healthcare providers.
This saves time for the healthcare professional who would normally have to perform the measurements. It prevents errors while copying the readings into the EHR and increases self-monitoring involvement and awareness of the patient.
Healthcare process improvements
Reduced workload
in healthcare
Improved
data safety
Instant access to the
results in the EHR
Increased patient
involvement
Reduced workload in healthcare
Patients can take their own measurements with the Alviscan without any assistance of a healthcare professional.
Improved data safety
Measurement results are automatically stored in the Electronic Health Recored and therefore can’t be lost or misinterpreted.
Instant access to the results in the EHR
Thanks to the connection with the Electronic Health Record, healthcare professionals have direct access to the measurement results.
Increased patient involvement
Patients are given an active role: they carry out the measurements themselves. This makes them curious about the results and involves them in a new and unique way.
How does the Alviscan work?
Alviscan works very intuitive. The patients identifies himself at the self-measurement kiosk with a patient card or day ticket. After that, a smart user interface guides the patient through the measurement process.
After completing the measurement process, the data is automatically stored in the Electronic Health Record and healthcare professionals have direct access to it.

What does the Alviscan measure?
The standard configuration allows patients to measure blood pressure, heart rate, saturation and weight. Also height can be insert manually. Alviscan can be extended with automated height measurement and temperature.
Blood pressure & heart rate
During the blood pressure measurement the systolic and diastolic pressures are automatically measured. All the patient has to do is insert his/her arm into the device and press start.
Height
The Alviscan can measure a patient’s height using three precision sensors strategically positioned above the
patient’s head.
Testimonials
“The clinical staff are very enthusiastic. Having patients measure themselves saves about 5 minutes of time per patient. This saves over 1,100 hours on an annual basis. Given the increasing demand for care, we would possibly need more employees. But because the Alviscan saves work and time, that will not be the case.”
Erasmus Medical Center, the Netherlands
“Blood pressure is more reliable and often lower; therefore, we also need to re-measure or refer a blood pressure to the triage department less often. This saves patient agitation and less workload for our triage and emergency departments.“
Jeroen Bosch Hospital, the Netherlands
