چکیده

(Mrs. Tristram-Wellness has just received an automatic e-notification that her routine health check-up is due, and arrives at the entrance of the Digital Medical Centre. She proceeds to the patient identification booth, lays her thumb on the fingerprint scanner, and stares into the iris scanner. After identification confirmation, she enters the adjoining basic health parameter room and follows the on-screen instructions for measurement of pulse and blood pressure, and weight and height, and then responds to the questions posed about nutrition, lifestyle and other health-related issues. After the pre-consultation assessment, she exits to the corridor, activates the facultative body-craniofacial scanners, and walks purposefully, head up, along the corridor to a private booth for her consultation.)
