February 8, 2023 – Overlake Medical Center & Clinics today announces its partnership with TytoCare, a virtual care company enabling accessible, high-quality primary care from home. Overlake Clinics is introducing TytoCare’s Home Smart Clinic into its Concierge Care medical service to strengthen providers’ ability to diagnose and treat patients remotely with virtual physical exams.
The partnership, the first of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, will see an initial rollout of hundreds of remote examination devices to Overlake Clinics Concierge Care members, with plans to expand the scope of the partnership throughout 2023. The device will be coupled with a pulse oximeter, a blood pressure cuff, and a weight scale to provide a broad range of diagnostic tests for Concierge Care patients, with the goal of transitioning to support the entire patient group with improved virtual care. The Epic-integrated solution also ensures seamless clinical workflows.
TytoCare’s Home Smart Clinic offering delivers health plans and providers a comprehensive range of elements required for a truly successful virtual care program without compromises. The solution includes the FDA-cleared remote physical examination kit enabling users to conduct medical exams of the heart, skin, ears, throat, abdomen, and lungs, and measure heart rate and body temperature from home. It also includes Tyto Engagement Labs™, a proven suite of user engagement services, which will help drive an increase in virtual care utilization and improve user experience and patient retention among Overlake’s members.
