Healthy You Podcast

Housecalls ended in the 1960s. But today, doctors have the technology to do an exam in your home via a televisit.  We talk to Family Medicine Physician Nadim Ilbawi, MD, who introduces us to TytoCare, new technology that helps make this happen.A TytoCare visit provides your physician with high-quality digital sounds of the heart and lungs, high-quality digital images and video of the ears, throat, and skin and measures heart rate and body temperature.  Using this examination data, your doctor can provide you with a diagnosis, treatment plan, and prescription if needed. The TytoCare exam kit includes an otoscope (ears), stethoscope (heart, lungs, and abdomen), basal thermometer, and digital camera (skin and throat) and is designed to provide your healthcare provider with the same type of examination data he or she would use in the office.
