Self Help Vital Sign Kiosk

The iMVS Smart Vital Signs Station from Imedtac is an advanced digital health solution that combines convenience for patients with efficiency for healthcare providers. It consolidates key vital sign measurements into a single unit, enabling users to record their health data quickly while ensuring hospitals and caregivers can access real-time information.

Purpose and Concept

iMVS was developed to streamline the process of monitoring vital signs such as blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, height, and weight. By integrating these tools into an all-in-one station, it eliminates the need for multiple devices, reduces staff workload, and minimizes waiting time for patients. Beyond being a measurement tool, it acts as a bridge to digital healthcare ecosystems, linking patient data directly to hospital systems and cloud platforms for continuity of care.

Intuitive and Accessible Design

Ease of use is a core strength of iMVS. Patients interact with a friendly touch-screen interface enhanced by voice instructions and animation guidance, ensuring even elderly users can measure independently. The process is simplified into three steps: identify, measure, and finish. This allows efficient self-service in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities, especially in settings with limited staff.

Modular and Flexible System

The system is modular and can be customized according to regulatory requirements and clinical needs. Optional medical devices, such as ophthalmoscopes, otoscopes, or portable ultrasound scanners, can be added. This flexibility makes iMVS suitable across various healthcare environments—from large hospitals and aged-care institutions to community health centers and home monitoring programs.

Cloud-Enabled Management

A defining feature is its cloud integration, which eliminates the burden of manual data transfer. Through its established management platform, iMVS enables:

• Device and user management

• Data analysis and trend reporting

• Care coordination for members and patients

The platform is fully compliant with global healthcare data standards (HL7, FHIR), ensuring compatibility with hospital information systems (HIS/NIS) and electronic medical records (EMRs).

Deployment Models

To meet different operational scenarios, iMVS comes in several versions:

• iMVS-MOB: Mobile vital signs kit for outreach or mobile clinics.

• iMVS-DKP: Full-sized station with 23.8" screen and tunnel-type BP cuff for hospitals.

• iMVS-AIO: Compact 10.1" version for small spaces and community care sites.

Standard measurements include blood pressure, oxygen saturation, body temperature, weight, and height. Large touch displays improve accessibility, and expansion options allow additional diagnostic functions.

Real-World Applications

iMVS fits seamlessly into multiple care models:

• Hospitals use it for pre-consultation checks and outpatient monitoring.

• Aged-care centers benefit from automated daily checks for residents.

• Primary care clinics improve efficiency by letting patients self-measure before seeing doctors.

• Home care programs integrate with solutions like the Vital Ring wearable or HaH Station, providing peace of mind to families and enabling “hospital at home” services.

Proven Deployments

The solution is already in use across Asia, including:

• Taiwan (Taipei Medical University Hospital, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, and long-term care centers)

• Vietnam (Shing Mark Hospital)

• Thailand (Primary care programs and Thonburi Bamrungmuang Hospital)

Over 75 sites have installed more than 24 stations, confirming its practical value and adaptability.

Ecosystem Vision

Imedtac positions iMVS as part of a larger smart healthcare ecosystem. Complementary devices such as the Vital Ring expand monitoring into everyday life, while the HaH Station supports hospital-level care at home. These extensions align with global trends in telehealth, preventive medicine, and data-driven patient care.

Conclusion

The iMVS Smart Vital Signs Station redefines how vital signs are captured and managed. With its patient-friendly interface, modular design, and cloud-based integration, it offers a reliable solution for healthcare organizations seeking efficiency, scalability, and improved patient engagement. Already adopted across leading institutions, iMVS is poised to play a central role in the future of smart healthcare and connected care ecosystems.
