Dubai Health Authority (DHA) recently launched the smart mobile consultation booth at the Road and Transport Authority (RTA) headquarters.
The smart booth allows employees at government bodies to conduct medical check-ups that include the following tests: blood pressure, blood glucose, temperature, lipid profile, weight and height and BMI, heart rate, blood oxygen and ECG.
The booth also has a telemedicine feature that allows patients to communicate with a specialised DHA doctor for consultation after the results are out.
This initiative is part of DHA’s many Dubai Future Accelerators Projects. RTA headquarters is one of the four governmental bodies that the smart consultation booth will visit.
