Tech to the rescure: Home Doctor



Tyto Care is the subject of a brief innovation story in this week’s Businessweek magazine.   http://tytocare.com/

The concept is to allow everyone to do a small personal physical exam, and eliminate or reduce some doctor’s office visits.  The results can be seen by the patient – and can be e-mailed to the doctor’s office for filing and to keep a chart to see if there are changes that warrant an office visit.

The device checks

Temperature
Basic self exam of heart, lungs, throat, ears, eyes, and skin.

Not yet on the market, but coming.  Note the website is cleverly designed, as you scroll down, the hand held device moves with you and appears in photos that show it at various angles and “in use”.  Very clever website design.
