## Abstract

Implementations described herein disclose a method for direct screening and monitoring of health parameters of multiple individual subjects in a remote location with easy access and periodic visits by such multiple individual subjects, where such remote location is not a healthcare facility. Furthermore, an apparatus disclosed herein enables remote health monitoring of individual subjects including children outside the confines of a healthcare facility.

## Claims

### Claim 1
