What does the Pursuant Health Kiosk cost?

A pricing guide for hospitals and health systems evaluating FDA-cleared self-service screening equipment.

The Pursuant Health Kiosk does not have published acquisition pricing. The kiosk is an FDA-Cleared Class II Medical Device , and Pursuant Health operates a network distribution model in retail settings rather than a traditional direct-sale equipment business. Procurement officers investigating this platform should expect either lease/service agreements or custom deployment quotes tied to volume and integration scope—not standard list prices.

What the typical acquisition model is

Pursuant Health's business operates through a network of over 4,600 health kiosks located in high-traffic retail pharmacies throughout the country , most deployed in Walmart stores. This is not a product you purchase off-shelf. The company uses a service-based model where kiosks generate revenue through health plan partnerships, consumer engagement programs, and data licensing—not hardware sales. If your facility wants Pursuant kiosks, acquisition happens through:

• Partnership with health plans that contract Pursuant Health as a member engagement vendor
• Retail co-location agreements (if your facility has pharmacy space or high-traffic retail corridors)
• Custom enterprise deployment (inquire directly with sales; pricing is negotiated)

Traditional outright purchase or standard equipment leasing models are not documented as available. MedSource does not yet have aggregate quote data for direct acquisitions.

What pushes acquisition cost up—features and service scope

The kiosk is an FDA-Cleared Class II Medical Device with biometric screenings (weight, BMI, blood pressure, pulse) and visual acuity screening capability . Newer generations add capability. The company's newest kiosk model, now equipped with state-of-the-art retinal imaging technology, has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA , announced January 2024. Retinal imaging adds hardware cost, integration complexity, and remote assessment services (licensed eye specialists review images).

Cost drivers specific to deployment:

• Biometric sensors. Blood pressure cuff, weight scale, pulse oximetry, optical elements.
• Retinal imaging module. Latest models include advanced optics—a material specification change that raises unit cost.
• Network connectivity and IoT stack. Pursuant has deployed about 2,700 health kiosks in Walmart stores and tested bundled hardware and IoT connectivity solutions for six to seven months; newly deployed kiosks have the solution built-in .
• EHR integration and data governance. Custom-designed medical kiosks can integrate with electronic health record (EHR) software platform and offer specialized tasks like insurance scanning, ID verification, multi-lingual support , which drives integration labor and licensing fees.
• Service-level agreements (SLA). Remote monitoring, software updates, clinical partner integration (Pursuant partners with Cleveland Clinic Wellness and the American Diabetes Association for validated health assessments).

What pushes cost down—or availability constraints

Because Pursuant does not operate as a direct equipment vendor, cost reduction levers are limited. However:

• Retail venue co-location. If your facility has pharmacy or high-traffic retail space (grocery store, big-box pharmacy), Pursuant may deploy at no upfront hardware cost and share revenue or data licensing fees.
• Health plan partnership. If your health plan contracts Pursuant to deploy in member communities, equipment may flow through the health plan at no direct cost to individual facilities.
• Used or older-generation kiosks. No secondary market is documented. Pursuant maintains its installed base; retired kiosks are not publicly resold.

The Pursuant model prioritizes scale and data aggregation over direct equipment sales, which constrains procurement flexibility for individual buyers.

Hidden costs: Deployment, maintenance, and ongoing operations

Real total cost of ownership extends beyond hardware:

• Installation and site prep. Kiosks require electrical outlets, network connectivity (cellular IoT or hardwired), physical space (approximately 2–3 sq ft footprint; dimensions not published). Integration with existing POS or check-in systems adds labor.
• Network/connectivity fees. Pursuant needed a cost-efficient IoT solution to minimize offline issues; the company reduced carrier costs by 33 percent after switching providers . Ongoing cellular or broadband charges apply.
• Software licensing and data exchange. Access to validated health assessments and NCQA-certified tools (e.g., Visual Health Age Assessment) likely incurs recurring fees. Data use rights and HIPAA compliance monitoring are built-in.
• Calibration and preventive maintenance. Blood pressure cuffs and weight scales require periodic calibration per medical device standards. No third-party maintenance is documented; Pursuant manages service internally.
• Consumables. Depending on deployment, thermal paper for receipt printing, sanitizing supplies (if touchscreen-heavy use), or replacement cuffs may apply.
• Training. Staff orientation on privacy, troubleshooting, and user support is necessary, especially in healthcare settings unfamiliar with the platform.

How to negotiate—concrete tactics

1. Contact Pursuant Health directly. Pricing is not published. Call (770) 622-4122 or email Info@pursuanthealth.com to request a formal deployment proposal. Specify volume (number of units), geography, and integration scope (EHR connection, payment processing, etc.).

2. Leverage your health plan. If your facility is part of a larger health system or accountable care organization (ACO), ask your health plan whether they already contract Pursuant. Some plans subsidize kiosk deployment for member engagement; you may not bear direct cost.

3. Emphasize recurring revenue. Pursuant's core model relies on health engagement data and health plan contracts. Frame your deployment as enabling data collection and population health insights, which may improve deal terms.

4. Request a pilot. Propose a 3–6 month pilot in a high-traffic area (pharmacy, lobby, urgent care) to measure patient engagement, data quality, and operational fit before scaling.

5. Negotiate service scope. Clarify what maintenance, software updates, remote monitoring, and clinical partner services are included in the quote. Separate hardware, software, and service fees to identify negotiation points.

6. Compare to alternative platforms. No other FDA-cleared self-service kiosk with retinal imaging exists as of Q1 2026, but competitors offer basic biometric screening (blood pressure, weight, BMI) at unknown pricing. Request benchmark proposals from platform vendors (e.g., kiosk integrators) that deploy third-party hardware with equivalent functionality.

When the price feels off—red flags

• Vendor cannot articulate recurring costs. If Pursuant or a partner quotes only hardware price without clarity on software, data licensing, connectivity, or maintenance, request a detailed 3-year total cost of ownership.
• Multi-year commitments with no exit clause. Service agreements should include termination provisions (e.g., 90-day notice) or performance benchmarks (e.g., uptime SLA, data accuracy requirements).
• No data governance or security documentation. Kiosks are HIPAA-Compliant, FDA-Cleared Class II Medical Devices . Insist on audit reports (SOC 2 Type II), penetration testing results, and written data use agreements before signing.
• Vague integration timelines or EHR compatibility claims. Custom-designed medical kiosks can integrate with EHR software, but no one-size-fits-all integration exists . Demand a technical specification document and reference site from a comparable EHR (Epic, Cerner, Athena, etc.).
• Proprietary data exclusivity. Pursuant owns biometric and behavioral data collected at kiosks. Clarify what insights, reports, or research access your facility or health plan receives—this should factor into valuation.
