Brief Summary

In this study the participant will be invited to be seated in the self-measurement kiosk after registration in the Emergency department. In this kiosk, the participant will be measuring their own vitals and answering a short questionnaire regarding the reason for presentation. All these results are displayed on a screen for the triage nurse. Based on the results, high-risk patients will be highlighted on the screen, so they may be seen faster.
