Woman at IN2L

 

The Kiosk for Living Well operates in partnership with "It's Never 2 Late" (iN2L). iN2L systems are large touchscreen computers  that offer a wide array of important health information, entertainment, and the ability to bring the world to every visitor, regardless of need or skill level.

Kiosks provide a variety of means for participants to manage their health and daily routines more effectively.
