New digital health stations to be rolled out across malls, shops, and markets nationwide in Thailand to ensure that every Thai citizen has easy access to free or affordable health screenings and consultations, promoting accessible healthcare for all. These stations are connected to online telemedicine services staffed by doctors, offering convenient medical consultations without the need for long travel or extended waiting times.
To date, Sa Kaeo Hospital, which serves approximately 562,000 residents, has established digital health stations across 340 communities in the province.
Residents can now use their Thai citizen ID cards to access health and medical services at any of these 340 digital health stations. Each station is equipped to measure basic health vitals such as body weight, temperature, blood pressure, heart health, glucose levels, blood oxygen levels, and eye health, among other medical indicators.
The digital health stations are linked to health databases and individual health records, using AI tools to identify potential health issues. The system can notify nearby doctors and recommend appropriate next steps for patients.
