TytoCare - TytoHome Remote Exam Kit - White

The TytoHome saved us a trip to the kids ER in the middle of the night. We were able to use the device to obtain a virtual doctor visit for a fraction of the cost and were able to get our daughter meds prescribed to a local 24 hour pharmacy. It was amazing!! We cannot recommend the TytoHome enough, having used it for a couple appointments thus far, set up was easy, the interface is user friendly and the entire process is perfect for everyone!! This product was given to me by TytoHome as part of a sponsorship. This is my honest opinion.

I bought this for my mother who has mobility issues. Taking her to the doctor is incredibly challenging. We have to get her out of the house, into the vehicle, into her wheel chair, into the elevator, then a 25 minute wait for a 15 minute visit. Initially I was helping her with the exams but very quickly my mother started to do them on her own as the software makes it so easy. A week later my 3 month old son seemed to have a breathing issue and we used it to get a diagnosis in minutes. We are paranod when we are in the pediatric office that is crowded with kids coughing all over. Tyto is for everyone looking to receive healthcare without the stress of traveling, waiting, transporting and getting sicker in the office.

I got this primarily to take the temperature of my wife and I as the Covid scare was in full force (and kind of still is) around mid-year last year. However, given all the other diagnostic capabilities of this device, I figured it would be good to use it in place of going to a doctor in person - depending on symptoms, of course. So, for me, it would 90%+ of the time give me a calibration error when reading my forehead temperature, and it was quite difficult to do the other diagnostic measurements, too. However, for my wife, the diagnostics mostly worked. I talked to Tyto support several times about my issues, and they sent me a new device. But, the new device never got my temperature, although it worked for my wife again. Also, if you want to do a televisit with a doctor, you can run the diagnostics yourself first and send them to a doc and then discuss or you could try to run the diagnostics with the doc live on a Ipad, for example. I didn't do either. It would cost you for the doctor televisit, of course. I found I could have a televisit with my regular health care provider for only $25, cheaper than through TytoCare.

I purchased this for my parents due to the current pandemic world situation. The device works and works well but the interfacing between the Tytocare app and whoever your Telemed provider is can be seriously lacking. For a couple of checkups, the doctors could not see the data from the Tytocare app even though I saw it was sent prior to the start of the Telehealth visit. It’s not the fault of the device, but perhaps providers need more training. Because of that I do wish it were easier to “save” the data from the Tytocare app to send to your provider. Having said that, I realize why it’s “locked down” *cough* HIPAA

So grateful for my Tytocare, especially since I lived far from hospitals and dreaded 2 hour drives for checkups. You have options to do heart, lung, ear tests and talk about other needs that is related to the condition you are experiencing. They accept multiple healthcare insurances which is also a plus-- and wants to get you connected with your primary provider (given they use the online medical service connected with Tytocare). Another plus is the device pairs with ios and android apps. You do need wifi coverage or access to a hotspot to use the Tytocare device. Since it has to be paired to your phone. Now we have a peace of mind, with no waiting rooms - long drives and access to a doctor at our fingertips (literally!)

I love the TytoHome device and kit, it is so easy to use, and most importantly, my kids love it and look for excuses to try it out. Working in healthcare, I have always stayed up to date on the newest health tech products, and when I read about this device, I immediately went and purchased them for myself and some other executives in my company. Raising two small children is hard enough, now I have the piece of mind if one of them wakes up sick in the middle of the night, or while we're on vacation, we can speak with our pediatricians immediately, instead of heading to the emergency room or an after-hours pediatrics group. Parents, do yourself a favor and get one of these devices.

This gadget is the neatest thing! It’s a thermometer, otoscope, etc. and you can see on the screen or phone/tablet. The only set back for me is that anyone over the age of 18 has to set up their user account, which makes since if you’re going to use the virtual physician. Awesome product if u have children.

Fabulous product, but best for pediatrics, and less informed consumers. Newer products may offer more sophistication, more measurement parameters , and work with more telehealth sites.
