Helsinki’s Vuosaari Health and Well-being Centre will be piloting MedicubeX e-Health station for a year. Clients can use the autonomous self-check station to take pre-agreed health measurements before attending their appointment with a medical professional. When the necessary measurements are taken in advance, there is more time available for other matters at the appointment.
The autonomous self-check station allows clients to measure their blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, temperature, weight and body composition. In addition, an electrocardiogram (ECG) can be taken to measure the heart’s activity. The client receives a printout of the measurement results containing no personal information. The measurements take about ten minutes.“Innovations like the MedicubeX e-Health Station are welcome in health stations. I believe in the readiness of our clients to start using new technologies like this. Introducing the autonomous health-check station also contributes to the efficiency of our services,” says Timo Lukkarinen, Medical Director of Health Stations in Helsinki.
Introducing the autonomous health-check station also contributes to the efficiency.

Helsinki offers a trial platform for testing, developing and scaling up new innovations.Photo: MedicubeX CEO Vili Kostamo giving a demo of the e-Health station to the healthcare professionals at Vuosaari Health and Well-being Centre.MedicubeX is a Helsinki-based digital health startup, founded in 2020.
