Tyto Care Receives Australian TGA Approval for Its AI-Powered, On Demand Telehealth Solution
NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Approval Will Enable the Leading Global Telehealth Company to Provide 
Australia's Health Organizations and Consumers with the Robust Telehealth 
Solution 

Tyto Care[https://www.tytocare.com/], the healthcare industry's first 
all-in-one telehealth platform and modular device for AI-powered, on-demand 
remote medical exams, today announced the approval of its telehealth solution 
by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). Tyto Care can now 
distribute its solution to health organizations and consumers across the 
country. 

Tyto Care's TGA approval comes as the Australian Government has strengthened[ 
https://www.health.gov.au/ministers/the-hon-greg-hunt-mp/media/continuous-care-with-telehealth-stage-seven] 
telehealth adoption, resulting in significant utilization increases: In the 
first month of the pandemic alone, care was delivered to more than three 
million Australian patients[ 
https://www.health.gov.au/ministers/the-hon-greg-hunt-mp/media/australians-embrace-telehealth-to-save-lives-during-covid-19] 
through telehealth reforms introduced by the government. Between March to June 
2020, Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) saw 17.2 million[ 
https://coh.centre.uq.edu.au/telehealth-and-coronavirus-medicare-benefits-schedule-mbs-activity-australia] 
telehealth consultations, and more than 57% of healthcare professionals[ 
https://www.bdo.com.au/en-au/insights/corporate-finance/articles/why-the-telehealth-industry-is-poised-for-significant-growth] 
are currently using a telehealth platform. Tyto Care will begin rolling out in 
Australia via partnerships with leading telehealth companies, health systems, 
and insurance providers. 

"With government support in place, the Australian healthcare industry is 
accelerating telehealth adoption at a critical time for global health. We are 
proud to help pave a new path forward for healthcare delivery in Australia, 
providing care for as many patients as possible," said Dedi Gilad, CEO and 
Co-Founder of Tyto Care. "By enabling a physical examination that virtually 
replicates an in-person visit, Tyto Care will greatly enhance the ability of 
health organizations and consumers to connect for clinic-quality care from the 
comfort of home. We look forward to working with Australian care providers to 
deliver the best virtual solutions to their patients."

Tyto Care provides the critical missing link in the delivery of telehealth by 
going beyond audio and video capabilities. The handheld device and telehealth 
platform enable heart, lung, skin, ear, throat, and abdomen examinations, and 
measures body temperature and heart rate, allowing patients and clinicians to 
connect for primary and chronic care visits. The solution enables healthcare 
organizations to protect providers by reducing in-person visits, while allowing 
the general population to receive care without entering medical facilities, 
helping to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and significantly reducing the 
increased burden on already overworked health organizations.
