Telemedicine hub manufacturer HealthSpot has gone out of business according to reports from three of its major clients, Rite Aid and HealthSpot . A spokesman for Rite Aid told HealthSpot “On Monday, Dec. 28 , Rite Aid was notified by HealthSpot of its intention to cease operations effective Monday, Dec. 28 ". As a result, the 25 HealthSpot stations located inside select Rite Aid pharmacies in Cleveland, Akron/Canton and Dayton/Springfield will no longer be available to Rite Aid patients and customers after 5pm Thursday, Dec. 31. HealthSpot offered its telemedicine kiosks in supermarkets, pharmacies and waiting rooms, and allowed patients to connect with a high-definition videoconference with a healthcare professional. The kiosks were equipped a variety of medical devices, including a blood pressure cuff, thermometer, stethoscope, dermoscope, and otoscope and a built-in weight scale. HealthSpot had raised $23m in funding, and secured a number of large deals, however, telemedicine solutions are increasingly being found within the home, on users' personal devices.
