Summary

The specific aims of the study are to:

1. Assess the feasibility of a TytoCare telehealth device with remote audio/video connection for evaluation of children with medical complexity in the home environment.
2. Evaluate the usability of a TytoCare telehealth device in transmitting real time images (otoscope, oropharyngeal exam, camera), temperature, and sound (stethoscope for heart and breath sounds)
3. Compare the impact of the TytoCare telehealth device versus traditional telephone assessment on patient management and user satisfaction

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

TytoCare Device

Tyto is a handheld, mobile device designed for capture and transmission of ear/throat/skin images and lung/heart auscultations. It may be used to perform non-invasive, medical examinations, either on a patient (by another person, most commonly a family member, or by a medical professional) or self-performed by the patient, for remote review by a medical practitioner. It is suitable for use on patients in both clinical and home environment.
