A "Clinic-in-a-Box" is a self-contained, deployable clinical environment that delivers comprehensive care without requiring construction, a dedicated on-site clinical staff member, or a permanent facility. The OnMed CareStation® is an 8×10-foot example—it can be placed anywhere with an electrical outlet, requires no construction and no permits, and becomes operational within 45 days. Inside, an integrated suite of medical-grade diagnostic tools connects to a 55-inch display, giving the CareStation's remote clinician the same real-time clinical information they'd have in an exam room.
The distinguishing feature relative to a telehealth kiosk is diagnostic depth, not screen size. A kiosk connects a patient to a screen and stops there. A Clinic-in-a-Box pairs that same connection with genuine clinical assessment capability—tech-enabled, AI-powered, and always human-delivered. The diagnostic tools extend what a clinician can see and measure remotely; they don't replace the clinician's judgment. That distinction is why 86% of visits resolve on-site, without a referral, an escalation, or a second appointment.
A Clinic-in-a-Box is a self-contained, deployable clinical environment that delivers comprehensive primary care without requiring construction, dedicated staffing, or a permanent facility. The OnMed CareStation® is an 8×10 foot “Clinic-in-a-Box” that brings licensed clinicians and integrated diagnostic tools to the point of need and can be placed anywhere with an electrical outlet and made operational in 45 days. It includes medical-grade diagnostic tools, a 55-inch life-size display connecting patients to licensed clinicians in real time, and AI-enabled clinical decision support.
The OnMed CareStation® is a patented, 8×10 foot “Clinic-in-a-Box." A patient enters a private, ADA-compliant space and connects in real time with a licensed clinician on a 55-inch life-size display. Integrated diagnostic tools—digital stethoscope, HD camera, thermal imaging, pulse oximetry, blood pressure monitoring, otoscope, and weight scale—allow the clinician to conduct a full clinical-grade evaluation. 86% of patients are fully treated inside the CareStation without redirection to a specialist, urgent care, or emergency room. The CareStation operates on broadband or satellite connectivity and deploys in 45 days with no construction required. A typical visit takes about twenty minutes, ends with a diagnosis, an e-prescription, and next steps, and requires no appointment. Find a CareStation near you.
Traditional telehealth, with adoption still at only 4-6% of outpatient visits, cannot capture vitals, perform examinations, or deliver the diagnostic confidence that most clinical decisions require. The OnMed CareStation® combines medical-grade diagnostic instruments with a 55-inch life-size display connecting patients to licensed clinicians in real time. 86% of patients are fully treated inside the CareStation without redirection to a specialist, urgent care, or emergency department. The CareStation also operates on dual broadband and satellite, reaching communities that traditional telehealth cannot serve. Walk-in clinics and telehealth often end in a referral or a second visit, and a telehealth kiosk or virtual health benefit connects a patient to a clinician without integrated diagnostic tools; the CareStation resolves the encounter in one visit. Hybrid care is also not the same as telehealth: it adds in-person assessment capabilities and integrated diagnostic tools to virtual clinical expertise.
Every term here points to the same gap in healthcare access. See how the CareStation closes it.
