While a human skill-set boasts enormous value in each and every area, there is nothing more significant in it than our ability to find solutions. You see, when someone is able to conceive an answer for all the possible questions life throws at them, they give themselves a fair shot at achieving some notable milestones along the way. Looking back, we can clearly see how we clocked so many of them, but if we are being honest, our most prized milestone still talks to a creation called technology. Technology takes up such a high position in our lives for reasons that were always bigger than its innate capabilities. Instead, they revolved a lot around the manner in which the creation used those capabilities to impact our entire spectrum. This, as you can guess, would produce a host of beneficiaries in its wake, and one among them is going to be our very own healthcare sector. Technology’s foray into healthcare notably came at a time when the sector was struggling against an outright obsolete structure. By instilling new ideas, the creation was successful in shaking up that picture. However, even after doing so, it will continue to build the brand of medtech under one capacity or the other. In fact, a recent partnership should only bolster this trend moving forward.
Carilion Clinic, a health system based in Roanoke, has officially announced a partnership with TytoCare, a New York City-based telehealth company. According to certain reports, the partnership is largely predicated upon strengthening the rural healthcare system, and as a result, make it possible to treat patients remotely through virtual examination. Talk about how the companies will manage the stated goal, this is where TytoCare’s technology enters the fray. The company’s assortment of smart devices, which includes everything from telehealth exam kits to pop-up remote health clinic, was exactly what talked Carilion into a partnership. The company discovered that TytoCare’s setup was well-equipped for conducting extensive tests on areas like patient’s heart, lungs, nose, and throat etc. Apart from it, it also displayed an ability to operate within low bandwidth areas, thus making the company an attractive prospect for Carillion, as a good chunk of the latter’s rural patients don’t have a high speed internet connection.
“We’re thrilled to partner with TytoCare, an innovative telehealth solution that provides our physicians with the clinical data crucial to diagnosing and treating patients remotely,” said Stephen A. Morgan, M.D., Carilion Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Information Officer. “We’re excited to bring these telehealth capabilities to rural communities that have historically been unable to use this new standard of healthcare. TytoCare’s technology is intuitive and easy-to-use for patients and providers and supplies our patients with the convenient, quality care they deserve.”
Interestingly, Carilion Clinic revealed that it is already using TytoHome to monitor pediatric asthma patients remotely, but of course, there are much bigger objectives in store. For instance, while the focus is surely on the wider rural landscape, the company will use the TytoClinic solution, in particular, across various schools so to help students and teachers in accessing a better brand of healthcare.
