Our family has four kids. Do you know when the kids get sick, have a rash, or get injured? After the pediatrician closes or when we're on vacation!
How many times have you seen a post in your mom group asking "Does this rash/cut/bug bite look like we should go to urgent care?" Everyone posts a different answer and mom either panics and goes to the ER at 2am or stays up all night watching to make sure it doesn't get worse. While we love our mom groups, there is a better solution for these medical questions -- the TytoCare Remote Exam Kit.
So what is this amazing device? TytoCare is a handheld exam kit that allows you to receive medical care for your family, 24/7, without leaving your home. Using TytoCare gives me peace of mind because the device allows the clinicians to capture vital signs – heart rate, lung sounds, ear exam, throat exam, temperature – to give real-time diagnosis and treatment. Included in the kit are the device with a camera and thermometer, an otoscope adaptor, a stethoscope adaptor, and a tongue depressor adaptor. If you’re concerned about having to use the accessories yourself, don’t be – not only are the FDA-cleared accessories designed to be safe for parents to use, you can practice before your child is sick with TytoCare Academy online.
What about when YOU get sick? TytoCare comes with accessories in both adult and child size! No need to find childcare or try to push yourself through and hope you feel better. Just hop on the TytoCare app, get your diagnosis and any prescription you may need, and start feeling better now!
Here’s how it works:
- Grab your TytoCare and your phone.
- Download the TytoCare App on your phone and pair the device.
- Use the simple guidance feature to walk you through the steps and connect to a live clinician.
- Get treated in real time – diagnosis, treatment, and/or prescription – by a licensed physician in your state.
TytoCare is sold at Best Buy or online at shop.tytocare.com. You can use your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to purchase the TytoCare device. Virtual visits are often covered by your health insurance, so check with your insurance provider to determine if telehealth visits are covered by your plan.
