About 130,000 people use SoloHealth Stations per day, company says
ATLANTA — Health kiosks made by SoloHealth are being used about 40 million times per year, the company said Friday.
The kiosk maker said its SoloHealth Stations around the country had an average of 10 million users per quarter, or almost 130,000 per day, with Texas, Florida, California, Georgia and North Carolina leading other states. The numbers were based on "consumer engagements," which refers to a consumer taking at least one test per session. There are currently at least 3,500 of the kiosks in the market.
