Novant Health is working with Tyto Care, which offers a modular device and telehealth platform to conduct on-demand remote medical examinations.
Through the partnership, patients of Novant Health—a , delivery system with 14 medical centers based in Winston-Salem, N.C.—will have access to virtual visits and eventually will be able to purchase a home examination device to augment virtual visits with a comprehensive physical exam. Patients in North Carolina will be connected via the Tyto platform to a Novant Health provider at anytime and anywhere.
“By integrating Tyto Care’s end-to-end telehealth offering into our digital healthcare delivery platform, we’re expanding our patient experience with game-changing technology,” says Hank Capps, senior vice president and chief digital health engagement officer at Novant Health.
The Tyto Care product includes TytoHome, a handheld modular examination device used by patients that enables clinicians to perform comprehensive physical exams virtually. Providers will have access to video, augmented reality, sensors and machine learning technology to examine the heart, lungs, skin, ears, throat and abdomen.
The partnership shows Novant Health’s commitment to digital health and expanded access to care, says Angela Yochem, executive vice president and chief digital and technology officer at the organization. “We are always looking for ways to make the healthcare experience simpler, more convenient and more affordable,” Yochem adds. “This partnership embraces technology to help parents get care for their children … or older adults in their homes to be seen virtually for minor health issues.”
