Abstract
Applications of the present invention are particularly useful in providing a system that allows the secure distribution of medical documents through a medical kiosk. The medical kiosk includes a customer interface and a camera that captures an image of the customer and attaches the image to a medical document. In order to receive a medical document through the kiosk, a customer requests a medical examination, enters information into the system by answering questions, and using medical instruments, and then requests the medical document. A picture of the customer is captured for attachment to the medical document. Another embodiment of the invention allows a customer to communicate directly with a medical professional during the examination process through a customer interface with the kiosk.
