Clinical Parameters and Tests Offered by Health Kiosk

A clinical parameter is one measurable indicator of health, recorded as a number, a waveform or a graded observation. Blood pressure is a parameter. So is oxygen saturation, so is HbA1c, and so is a colour vision result.

A health kiosk is a self-service screening station that measures a bundle of clinical parameters in one sitting and issues an instant report. It sits between doing nothing and booking a full pathology panel, and its job is early identification rather than diagnosis.

Clinics On Cloud manufactures this class of device in India as the Health ATM, also sold as the Health Kiosk. Clinics On Cloud is India’s first CDSCO-licensed Health ATM and Health Kiosk manufacturer, operating from Nighoje, Chakan MIDC, Pune, under the legal entity SehatPro Technologies Pvt Ltd.

Parameter counts are the most misread number in this category. Some vendors count a single lipid panel as one parameter and some count it as six. This page lists every parameter individually so you can compare like for like, whether you are writing a tender specification or simply deciding what a screening session will tell you.

The Clinics On Cloud Health Kiosk screens 65+ clinical parameters across 14 specialties. The table below is the master map. Each specialty is then broken out in full in the next section.

Two qualifications matter before you read further. Not every unit ships with all 14 specialties; the configuration is selected at order time and drives both the price and the consumable cost. And every parameter below is screened, not diagnosed. The kiosk flags readings that fall outside standard reference ranges and routes the person to a clinician.

1. General health and body composition (19 parameters)

This is the widest specialty and the one most people complete. It is entirely non-invasive and needs no consumables, which is why it drives repeat use in workplaces and residential deployments.

The specialty is counted as 19 parameters in the Clinics On Cloud specification. The readings above are the ones printed on a standard report; exact line items depend on the module configuration ordered.

For a plain-language walkthrough of each of these, read the 19 general health parameters explained one by one and body composition machine metrics.

2. Cardiac (9 parameters)

The cardiac module combines an electrical recording, a pressure measurement and a blood lipid panel. Together they cover three separate aspects of cardiovascular risk that no single test captures alone.

The specialty is counted as 9 parameters in the Clinics On Cloud specification, with the lipid panel contributing six of them.

Lead count is a configuration choice. A 6-lead ECG records fewer views of the heart than a 12-lead ECG and is generally used for rhythm-level screening, while 12-lead is the standard used in clinical settings. For the full explanation, see ECG, blood pressure and lipid profile explained.

3. Urine analysis (10 parameters)

Urine strip testing is fast, inexpensive per test and covers kidney, liver and urinary tract indicators in a single dip.

4. Rapid infectious disease (10 parameters)

Rapid immunoassay tests give a result within minutes from a finger-prick sample. They are used for screening and triage, particularly during outbreak seasons and in camp settings.

Rapid tests are screening tests. A reactive result requires confirmatory laboratory testing and clinical counselling, and for HIV in particular this must follow the confirmatory and counselling pathway defined by national programme guidance.

5. Ayurvedic assessment (7 parameters)

A guided on-screen assessment covering constitution and lifestyle factors, scored as an indicative profile. It is a wellness assessment module rather than a laboratory test, and the exact assessment set is confirmed at configuration.

6. Pulmonary function (4 parameters)

Spirometry measures how much air a person can move and how fast. It is the specialty that matters most in dusty industrial environments and among smokers.

7. Dental and oral cancer screening (4 parameters)

An intra-oral camera captures magnified images of the teeth, gums and soft tissue for visual screening, including screening for oral lesions. In India this specialty carries weight because tobacco and areca nut use is common in many workforces. Visual screening flags what a dentist or oncologist then examines properly.

8. Dermatology (3 parameters)

9. Vision (3 parameters)

10. Hearing and ENT (2 parameters)

Audiometry is the parameter that matters most in manufacturing. Noise-induced hearing loss develops slowly and silently, and periodic screening at the plant gate catches drift that an annual medical often misses.

11. Diabetes (2 parameters)

These two answer different questions, which is why they are run together. See random blood sugar and HbA1c screening for the full comparison.

12. Anaemia and kidney (2 parameters)

Haemoglobin screening for anaemia, and a kidney function screening marker. Anaemia screening is heavily used in school, adolescent and women’s health programmes, where it is often the single most productive parameter in the entire menu.

13. Mental health (2 parameters)

PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are standard, widely used screening questionnaires. A score is a prompt to speak to a clinician. It is not a psychiatric diagnosis, and no screening score should be treated as one.

14. Maternal health (1 parameter)

A fetal monitor records fetal heart activity. In maternal health deployments this is paired with the general health and anaemia parameters, since those are the readings antenatal programmes track most closely.

Screening is most useful for people who currently have no symptoms and no routine contact with a doctor. That is the group in which early identification changes the outcome.

• Adults over 30 with no annual health check. The largest untested group in most Indian workplaces and residential communities.
• Anyone with a family history of diabetes, hypertension or heart disease. Family history raises baseline risk and makes periodic screening more valuable.
• Shift workers and factory workforces. Rotating shifts, noise exposure and dust exposure make general health, audiometry and pulmonary parameters directly relevant.
• People carrying excess weight around the abdomen. Visceral fat is measured directly rather than inferred from BMI alone.
• Smokers and tobacco or areca nut users. Pulmonary function and oral screening are the relevant specialties.
• People already living with a diagnosed condition. Periodic screening supports the follow-up their physician has already prescribed. It does not replace it.
• Rural and last-mile populations. Where the nearest laboratory is hours away, a kiosk or a Box Clinic camp is often the only realistic screening contact point.
• Corporate, CSR and government programme cohorts. Screening at scale identifies the small share of a population that needs immediate clinical attention.

Two groups should be routed differently. Anyone with active symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, fainting or a sudden change in vision needs a doctor now, not a screening kiosk. And children, pregnant women and people with implanted cardiac devices should follow the specific guidance of their treating clinician on which modules are appropriate.

A Clinics On Cloud report is colour-coded. Readings that sit inside standard reference ranges are shown in one band, borderline readings in another, and readings outside the range in a third. The colour is a signal about what to do next, not a verdict.

Here is how to read the three outcomes.

• All parameters within range. The screening found nothing outside standard reference ranges on the day of the test. It does not rule out any condition. Screening tests have limits, and a normal result is a snapshot rather than a clearance.
• One or more borderline readings. The reading sits near the boundary of the standard range. Borderline readings are most useful as a trend: repeat the screening at the interval your physician suggests and see which direction the number moves.
• One or more readings outside the range. This is a prompt for a clinical consultation and, usually, a confirmatory laboratory test. The Clinics On Cloud kiosk offers a live teleconsultation at the machine when a reading is flagged, so the conversation happens immediately rather than weeks later.

The numeric cut-offs that define these bands are not set by Clinics On Cloud. They follow standard clinical guidance published by bodies including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and, for glycaemic parameters, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Those cut-offs also vary with age, sex, pregnancy, medication and existing conditions. Do not interpret your own numbers against a general range. Take the report to a qualified physician and let them interpret it in the context of your history.

Device accuracy is 90–95%, depending on the specific test and device, under correct usage, calibration and patient preparation. That is a screening-grade standard. It is good enough to identify who needs a doctor and not a substitute for accredited laboratory pathology.

Across the Clinics On Cloud network, 2 lakh+ abnormalities have been identified and routed for early intervention. That figure is the actual output of a screening programme: not tests performed, but people moved into care.

A full checkup on the Clinics On Cloud Health ATM takes 10 minutes from first touch to printed report. The interface is voice-guided and multilingual, so no skilled operator is required at the kiosk.

• Identify. The user enters a mobile number, scans an ID, or links an ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) number under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. Returning users have their history pulled up automatically.
• Select the package. The screen offers the packages enabled at that site, from a short vitals check to the full 65+ parameter screening.
• Non-invasive block. Height, weight, all body composition parameters, blood pressure, pulse, SpO2 and temperature are captured in one seated and one standing cycle.
• ECG. A 6-lead or 12-lead trace is recorded, depending on the configured module.
• Point-of-care blood tests. One finger-prick sample runs the enabled strip tests: random blood sugar, HbA1c, lipid profile, haemoglobin and the rapid infectious disease panel.
• Sensory and questionnaire modules. Vision, audiometry, spirometry, dermatology and otoscope imaging, plus PHQ-9 and GAD-7, run on-screen.
• Report. A colour-coded report prints and is simultaneously sent by SMS, email and WhatsApp.
• Teleconsultation on flags. Abnormal readings trigger the offer of a live doctor consultation at the machine, with eSanjeevani integration available for public-health deployments.
• Record. The encounter is stored as a longitudinal digital health record and appears on the centralised dashboard your administrators use.

Step 8 is the step that separates a screening programme from a data-collection exercise. A report with no follow-up pathway changes nothing.

The parameter menu you enable should follow the population, not the brochure. The same 65+ parameter device is configured very differently across settings.

For camp and outreach settings where there is no power, no network and no room, the Box Clinic portable screening unit carries the same screening logic in a case. Fixed sites use the Clinics On Cloud Health Kiosk. For the programme design side of cardiac screening at scale, read running a cardiac screening programme at scale.

Being explicit here protects both the reader and the programme.

• It does not diagnose. Every parameter above is a screening measurement. Diagnosis is a clinical act performed by a qualified physician, usually with confirmatory testing.
• It does not treat, cure or prevent disease. The kiosk produces information and a referral pathway.
• It does not replace a pathology laboratory. Confirmatory pathology, imaging and specialist assessment stay with accredited labs and clinicians.
• It does not handle emergencies. Anyone with acute symptoms needs emergency care immediately.
• It does not guarantee a doctor will act on the report. The report is designed to raise awareness and prompt appropriate medical follow-up, and the teleconsultation module exists to make that follow-up happen at the point of screening.
