Bringing Touch to Telemedicine
"Not hearing heart and lung sounds puts the patient
at a disadvantage for optimal treatment."
- Dr. Jaynee Pendergast
(Family Medicine, Morris Healthcare)
Problem
Telemedicine is becoming a staple of modern medicine but doctors can only see and speak with their patients, they cannot touch them to perform the physical exam. This lack of vital exam information leads to worse health outcomes such as pneumonias and arrhythmias.
This affects:
30 M
U.S. adults with heart disease
37 M
U.S. adults with lung disease
90 M
Senior citizens double to
$32 B
wasted in ER visits
$26 B
on hospital readmissions
