Check-in, without the clipboard.
Althea Kiosk turns an iPad on a kiosk stand in your reception area into a self-service check-in station. Patients update their demographics and clinical information, sign forms electronically, and pay their balance on arrival, no paper, no waiting at the front desk, no staff time lost to data entry.
The last 30 feet of the patient journey.
Most check-in friction happens in the waiting room, clipboards, handwritten forms, balance questions at the front desk. Althea Kiosk replaces all of it with a single iPad that guides patients through check-in, signatures, and payment on arrival.
Digital Check-In & Forms
Patients update demographics and clinical information directly on the iPad and sign consent and intake forms electronically, no paper, no data re-entry, no illegible handwriting.
Balance Pay on Arrival
Optionally require patients to settle outstanding balances before completing check-in, a clean, non-awkward way to improve point-of-service collections without a front-desk conversation.
Purpose-Built for the Waiting Room
Althea Kiosk is designed for the realities of a busy reception area, secure kiosk mode, auto-session-timeout, and a touch interface patients actually find intuitive. Your stand, your iPad, your patients checking themselves in.
From front door to waiting room.
In four taps.
Althea Kiosk walks every patient through check-in the same way, fast, private, and completely electronic. No staff time, no paper, no bottleneck at the front desk.
Patient walks in and steps up to the kiosk stand in your reception area. No staff time required to kick off check-in.
Patient confirms their cell number for OTP, name, and date of birth on the iPad, the kiosk pulls up their record from Althea Smart EHR instantly.
Patient reviews and updates demographics and clinical information, signs any required forms electronically, and pays any outstanding balance, all on the iPad.
Patient finishes the check-in flow and takes a seat in the waiting room. Your staff sees the updates posted directly to the chart, no data entry, no paperwork to file.
See the transformation.
A clipboard goes away. An iPad takes its place. Check-in goes from 12 minutes of paperwork plus front-desk data entry down to 3 minutes, completely self-service.

Althea Kiosk
The essentials, hardware, patient experience, security, and workflow, answered briefly.
Any recent iPad running a modern version of iPadOS will work. Most practices use a standard iPad mounted in a kiosk stand in the reception area, patients walk up to it and check themselves in. You don’t need proprietary hardware, and you don’t need a dedicated device per provider, one kiosk stand handles your whole patient flow.
Most practices are up and running the same day. Install the kiosk app on your iPad, enable secure kiosk mode, configure the forms and payment options you want to collect, and your next patient can check in digitally.
Nothing changes. The kiosk is an option, not a requirement, patients who want staff assistance still get it. In practice, most patients prefer the kiosk because it’s faster and more private than filling out paper at a counter.
Yes. Consent forms, HIPAA acknowledgments, and practice-specific intake forms are all signed electronically on the iPad, the signed documents post directly to the patient chart with timestamp and identity verification.
Patients pay outstanding balances by credit card directly on the kiosk. You can optionally require balance settlement before completing check-in, a clean way to improve point-of-service collections without an awkward front-desk conversation.
Yes. The kiosk runs in secure kiosk mode, patients only see their own record, sessions time out automatically, and no data is stored on the iPad itself. All activity is encrypted in transit and posts directly to Althea Smart EHR.
Every update a patient makes, demographics, clinical info, signed forms, payments, posts directly to the patient’s chart in Althea Smart EHR. Your staff reviews and approves as needed. No export, no double data entry.
