Urgent Care Without the Drive
What is a TytoCare device?
TytoCare is a hand-held, medical device kit that allows for remote medical exams from our providers at any time. A TytoCare device can be used for improved diagnosis and treatment in Virtual Care visits. A TytoCare device can be used for urgent care video visits through MyChart with a Baptist Health provider, giving you access to quality medical care from home. TytoCare devices can also be used with select primary care offices for scheduled video visits with your provider.
$149.99 - FSA/HSA eligible
What Does TytoCare Do?
Many conditions require a physical exam for diagnosis and treatment. The TytoCare device allows a Baptist Health virtual provider to take precise measurements of the vital signs needed to diagnose and treat your symptoms appropriately. The kit includes a camera, stethoscope, otoscope and tongue depressor to examine and monitor:
- Heart rate or heart sounds
- Lung breathing sounds, coughing, congestion
- Ear canal and eardrum
- Throat and vocal cord conditions
- Abdominal sounds
- Skin rashes, bug bites and other conditions
- Blood pressure & oxygen levels
- Temperature
Having TytoCare in our home has brought us convenience and confidence. It is easy to use and allows a virtual visit to become much closer to an in-person visit. It's also a tremendous value considering the time saved and the peace of mind we have knowing we can do a Tyto visit day or night.
How It Works
When you receive your TytoCare device, it’s recommended that you unbox, register the device, pair it with your MyChart account and complete TytoAcademy. This usually takes about 10 minutes and allows you to be ready to use TytoCare when you need to see a provider or feel under the weather.
