With the recent expansion of its primary and urgent care services, TytoCare has gained the interest of five new healthcare systems. Cone Health will introduce TytoCare to 12 schools in North Carolina, Sentara Health will implement it in Title-1 schools across Virginia, and A Plus Family HealthCare in Kentucky will bring its services to five schools in Edmonson County. Two other health systems have also partnered with TytoCare but have not yet made their announcements public.
TytoCare’s AI-enabled Pro Smart Clinics are being provided to school clinics, allowing clinicians to conduct urgent, primary, and specialist care remotely. The connected device collects readings from an otoscope, tongue depressor, thermometer, and FDA-cleared stethoscope, which can analyze lung sounds for wheeze detection in real-time. In addition to its school health initiatives, TytoCare also offers virtual care through its AI-enabled TytoCare Home Smart Clinic, which functions similarly to the Pro Smart Clinic but allows for patient evaluations in the home. Last year, TytoCare received FDA clearance for its clinical decision support software, Tyto Insights for Wheeze Detection. This software uses the company’s stethoscope to evaluate lung sounds and identify recordings that indicate wheezing in adults and children aged two and older.
To further enhance its virtual care offerings, TytoCare secured $49 million in funding in August to explore AI use cases for diagnostic support and remote exams, with a focus on its Home Smart Clinic. In November, the company announced an exclusive partnership with St. Luke’s Health System in Idaho to deliver virtual care services to their members and employees starting in 2024. TytoCare has seen significant financial backing in recent years
