Frequently Asked Questions
A TytoCare Medical Exam Kit is a handheld device that works through your smartphone and pairs with your RRH MyCare account to allow you to have a 3-dimensional video visit with a provider. With the TytoCare Medical Exam Kit, doctors can see down the throat, in the ears, listen to the heart and lung sounds, and take temperature and vital signs. This allows for a much more thorough exam while engaging in a virtual care video visit.
The TytoCare app works with iOS (10 and above) and Android (4.4.4 and above). Here are the specific requirements needed:
- Apple device users: iOS 10 or newer; iPhone 5S, iPad Air, iPad mini, iPod touch 6, plus newer models
- Android device users: Android 4.4.4 or newer; Samsung Galaxy S5, S6 plus, Note 5, A7, J7 and up, LG G4 and up
The TytoCare Medical Exam Kit is available for purchase through Rochester Regional Health.
The TytoCare Medical Exam Kit lets you perform guided medical exams with a Rochester Regional Health (RRH) provider. It has the following exam capabilities: camera for taking photos and videos of the skin and the throat, thermometer for taking temperature, otoscope for looking inside the ears, stethoscope for heart, lung, and abdomen sounds and capturing heart rate. All exam data is stored on our HIPAA-compliant cloud, so you can be confident that your health data is private and secure.
Tyto has built-in training videos and guidance technology to help ensure accuracy and ease-of-use. The Tyto Academy guides users through each exam and allows you to practice prior to a visit. When using Tyto during a live telehealth exam, your clinician will guide you through the examination process, letting you know where to put the stethoscope on your heart, where to place the otoscope inside the ear, etc.
For tips and training on using your TytoCare Medical Exam Kit, we recommend completing the Tyto Academy prior to your first video visit.
A Tyto visit provides the doctor 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.

- Ear infections
