Access to the right information at the right time is a crucial ingredient of modern HEALTHcare. Today, within HEALTH kiosks, HEALTH information can be accessed in public places. The term kiosk tends to be used for touch screen computer that is normally used standing up in public places. HEALTH kiosk is a system with various capabilities. This is an overview article. Different scientific databases were searched to identify articles published during the period of 1995 to 2013. The information is also gathered from personal observation and oral interview in Tehran. HEALTH kiosks can be utilized for self-management of chronic diseases, reduce HEALTH disparities, better outreach of HEALTHcare services and can be a cost effective way to improve delivery of HEALTHcare services. A search performed on HEALTH kiosks in Tehran shows a significant difference in a structure and use of it with global ones. One of the main reason is that theses kiosk are independent from ministry of HEALTH and medical education. Several variables such as HEALTH literacy, lack of culturally adaptive HEALTH information and limited availability of tailored HEALTH material are some of the existing barriers to greater adoption of HEALTH technologies and their impact in the improvement of HEALTH outcomes.

despite the importance of interaction between industrialization and HEALTH, this subject has not been studied sufficiently in Iran. In this regard, the aim of this study is investigating the impact of industrialization on HEALTH in Iranian provinces during 2009-13. The used data has been collected from the Statistical Centre of Iran and the National Organization for Civil Registration. The introduced indices have been combined using Standardized Score method for measuring the degree of industrialization and the levels of HEALTH in intended provinces. The interaction between industrialization and HEALTH has been tested by econometric panel data method. The results of this paper show that the Iranian provinces are not homogenous from industrialization and HEALTH perspectives. In addition there is no significant change in heterogeneity of provinces in terms of industrialization and HEALTH during the period of study. Also, the results reveal a significant and negative relationship between industrialization and HEALTH in Iranian provinces. This means that the industrialization process has reduced the HEALTH of provinces in Iran. So, in terms of policy, in addition to advantages of industrialization, its problems and disadvantages also should be taken into account. In the other words, paying attention to the external diseconomies of industrialization is necessary for successful implementation of industrial policies.
