Care-at-home is gaining momentum. Homecare services providers are growing. The demand for personal support workers (PSWs) as well as home nurses is rising. There number of medical devices designed specifically for home use are multiplying. In 2022, a lot of attention has been focused on devices for remote patient monitoring (RPM), but devices that enable clinicians to assess and diagnose patients at home are also needed to fully realize the promise of care-at-home.
TytoCare, a virtual care company, recently launched its Home Smart Clinic that enables primary care from home. Their offering includes:
- An FDA-cleared handheld solution for remote physical examinations and diagnosis
- An AI-powered diagnostic support tool that helps diagnose an array of conditions and guides patients through a physical exam at home
- Patient engagement services and apps
Hagai Heshes, Head of Product Marketing and Nate Danner, Director of Provider Solutions at TytoCare gave Healthcare IT Today a live demonstration of their solution at the recent #HLTH2022 conference.
“Traditional audio and visual telehealth doesn’t really cut it,” said Heshes. “You can’t listen to the patient’s lungs or in their ear canal. Without this, a physician’s diagnosis is not as accurate. In fact, with our Home Smart Clinic solution, we are seeing a 59% improvement in at-home diagnosis.”
The global home medical equipment market is projected to grow from $35.7 billion USD in 2021 to $62.1 billion USD by 2030 according to a study by Precedence Research. TytoCare is aiming to be a significant player in this space.
