• transmitting, using a networking device and a processor at the patient station, the input to trigger the medical session with a remote device associated with the healthcare professional;
• measuring, by a scale at the patient station that is integrated within a floor of an interior of the patient station, a weight of a patient;
• activating, by a privacy system, a privacy feature on a glass of the patient station that prevents viewing the interior and locks the patient station after an activation of the medical session;
• acquiring, by a camera device at the patient station, health data from the patient within the patient station, and the camera device detects an eye level of the patient and automatically adjusts with the eye level upon activating the privacy feature;
• acquiring, by a retractable camera within the patient station, an image about a bodily condition of the patient during the medical session;
• and
• upon the medical session ending, the interior automatically unlocking, and the patient vacating the patient station, sanitizing by a cleaning system automatically the interior using an ultra-violet sanitation device.

A patient kiosk comprising:

• a touchscreen, at the patient kiosk, that receives an input to initiate a medical session with a healthcare professional;
• a networking interface and a processor, at the patient kiosk, that transmit the input to trigger the medical session with a remote device associated with the healthcare professional,
• the touchscreen displays a real-time image of the healthcare professional during the medical session;
• a scale that is part of a floor of an interior of the patient kiosk that measures a weight of a patient;
• a privacy system that electronically activates a glass of the patient kiosk that prevents viewing the interior and automatically locks the patient kiosk after an activation of the medical session;
• a camera device that acquires health information from the patient within the patient kiosk, and the camera device detects an eye level of the patient and automatically adjusts with the eye level upon activating the glass;
• a retractable camera within the patient kiosk that acquires an image about a bodily condition of the patient during the medical session;
• and
• upon the medical session ending, the interior automatically unlocking, and the patient vacates the patient kiosk, a cleaning system automatically sanitizes the interior using an ultra-violet sanitation device.
