All TIPS kiosks are powered by TIPS Kiosk Management Software, our proprietary secure browser / lock-down software which:

  • Manages user sessions and day-to-day interaction
  • Restricts access to unauthorized sites
  • Logs system ‘heartbeat’
  • Tracks and reports usage statistics
  • Allows for remote updates on any day at any time
  • And much, much more!
Powered by TIPS Kiosk Management Software: Industry-leading platform for self-service systems

TIPS software has already been approved to operate on some of the most secure healthcare and government networks that exist, including the Military Health System and Defense Health Agency, VA, SSA, FBI and others.

TIPS kiosks also come with a subscription to TIPS Cloud™, our password-protected cloud-based Customer Service Center, where authorized administrators can view system status, view and print system usage data, sign up to receive automatic email reports, upload new screen savers, manage authorized URLs, and submit content change requests.

What People Say

“Yesterday afternoon, I took a peek at the kiosk on the day side. There was one of our patients, an older fellow who is not particularly high-functioning and he was actively engaged in exploring the items available to him on the computer. Two televisions were playing just feet away from him and he seemed enthralled by what he was seeing and oblivious to the other distractions. I watched him discreetly for a few moments and saw him enjoying the process of discovering his own skill and capability. It was wonderful to see! Thank you so much.”

“This has all been more positive than I ever expected!”
