Roots Clinic Is Saving Lives and Adds its Second Blood Pressure
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
About the size of a voting booth, this self-serve kiosk gives patients’ blood-pressure readings in about 60 seconds. It was installed in the clinic last spring as part of a Blue Shield of California – American Heart Association collaboration, just a few months after Anderson’s stroke. Since then nearly 600 people have been screened, with more than three-quarters of them discovering they have full-blown hypertension or elevated blood pressure.
