Summary
Hartford HealthCare and OnMed have launched the U.S.’s first airport-based OnMed CareStation at Bradley International Airport, providing travelers and airport staff with a fully automated 8 × 10-foot kiosk that delivers virtual primary care. Walk-in patients can remotely consult licensed clinicians via high-definition video, while thermal sensors, a digital stethoscope, pulse oximetry, blood pressure cuffs, and body weight diagnostics capture vital data on-site. The kiosk handles up to 85% of common primary care concerns—such as infections, respiratory issues, rashes, headaches, heartburn—with the potential for e-prescriptions and specialist referrals, covered by most insurance plans. Requiring only a power outlet, it represents a blend of telehealth convenience and in-person clinical capability, bridging care access gaps in high-traffic settings and underserved regions
