Austin, Texas-based chip maker Freescale Semiconductor has launched a low-cost, intelligent hospital kiosk that enables patients to quickly check such health indicators as body temperature, blood pressure and blood sugar level.

The Deccan Herald reports from the Freescale Technology Forum in Bangalore that the kiosk has a USB (universal serial bus) device that can be operated at home to relay the biometric data through the Internet to a hospital or physician.
