Could revolutionize the healthcare industry now you can check off metallurgical -- when -- next run of the drugstore or grocery store.

-- -- health makes self service health kiosks.

That could be the wave of the future here's what you -- you just sit for four and a chance to some basic questions on the monitor and out pops everything from -- -- screening tool blood pressure and weight reading.

This stations are going to be put in 2500 wal marts and Sam's club's next month.

This exclusive is the founder and CEO.

This breakthrough technology Bart Foster and welcome to the shows there are -- have 15100 of these the kiosks across the country -- get the -- to do this.

Think you had -- happy to be here actually got the idea I was working at Novartis I was in sales and marketing I was selling consequences.

I was in.

England on international assignment and Wal-Mart needed awaited drive traffic from their existing store into the optical center.

And I -- the -- -- if you had a kiosk that would screen your vision educate you about the importance of -- health and then tell you where to go to -- some about it.

And and although this started with a high health I think I read somewhere that thirty million Americans need to get eye exams and and miss them every year it's much more than that it's the blood pressure it's the way.

It screens and ask you questions to determine your BMI as well as potential health risk.

To why is client -- when I use the kiosk or is it totally funded through advertising that I see well I'm in that form in a process.

If you don't as a consumer you it's free it's a free service to use in our whole focus is trying to empower people.

To learn about their own health care and take care themselves.

You know there was something -- read -- -- -- the critics of this are worried because of the advertising element for instance if someone is there and they get an eye exam.

Obviously you're gonna want to show -- Products that would be for I care but you have what's called solo trigger.

On advertising and my right what is that.

So wavy advertising works is we're trying to deliver very contractually relevant.

Information and content -- it.

Will enable someone to take action so sometimes it is advertising -- certain products sometimes its ingredients and as an example vitamin assessment.

Sam's Club has now has -- vitamin assessment that allows you to answer few basic questions and and find out what vitamins might be right.

Religion but don't buy is the consumer I have to give the kiosk permission to run these ads is that accurate -- -- to select the -- wanna see.

Absolutely when I capturing patient identifiable or consumer identifiable information it's things like the Asian ethnicity and race.

You know.

How often that you eat fruits and vegetables a day.

And -- and often enough every a every trick question that's right every question is actually trigger for contents.

There were able to queue up.

For consumers to use and -- was at 16%.

111000 of 69000.

Enough participants at the 15100 kiosk actually wanted to see those ads correct.

Actually we just -- some studies.

-- hello healthy choice.

And 71% of the people saw the ads.

And then 77% of the people said they were.

Somewhat likely to go purchase those products so we've seen really good results says so I can see the benefit for advertisers who want to reach you know it's all about the -- we have that my industry.

What about the benefit for me is the consumer this -- I can take this to my doctor can -- not.

Absolutely you certainly can't as a consumer -- the real benefit is you can get.

Actionable information and you mentioned that the -- Samsung -- eye exam it's certainly just a vision test it's a screening but.

You're rise.

-- -- so slowly over time you think your point pointing you really have no idea what the the -- screening does is it it's simply just allows you to get a basic reading and -- tell you what to do.

Mr.

Foster I only have about ten seconds this is a yes -- -- you're gonna have an IPO people wanna invest in this.

We are looking for three.

For companies to be strategic partners with us trying to really focused on.

A building the company to be successful so when there's an IPO or strategic partner world and a lot of different options.

All right well I think we're gonna have you back on as those options become apparent 2500 solo health kiosks.

Going to be in wal marts and Sam's Club start next month thank you very much for being on money -- us.

Thank you.
