Telemedicine should be more than a video call. Currently available telemedicine tools do not have examination capabilities. Steth IO® Spot's unique form factor is ideal for home use, making it an effective telemedicine platform. Steth IO® allows remote patient examination and monitoring, introducing true telemedicine for patients at home. Patient examination also provides valuable information that can impact clinical decision making, and improves patient experience and satisfaction
Expanding your practice beyond your office walls will allow you to establish a hybrid practice and increase your efficiency at providing patient care.
