TytoCare technological solution enables care for indigenous people living in remote areas of the Amazon Rainforest
Distance, remote geography and lack of adequate transportation have always been a major challenge for indigenous communities scattered throughout the Xingu to receive specialized medical care. Thanks to the introduction of the TytoCare medical device, a cutting-edge telehealth technology, the challenges previously faced are being overcome.
TytoCare is emerging as a comprehensive medical solution that empowers indigenous peoples and healthcare professionals who already provide services locally, enabling them to perform basic medical examinations with the assistance of a healthcare professional remotely. Equipped with a high-resolution camera, a stethoscope, a thermometer and various sensors, the device is interconnected to an intuitive app. This makes seeking medical care, which until now was an arduous task, accessible and easy.
In a recent expedition that served to validate the applicability of TytoCare technology, healthcare professionals had the opportunity to test the performance of physical examinations remotely in real time and attest to its efficiency. Tytocare allowed us to store the altered data from the physical examination, to compare them on the next expedition. “, commented Anna Clara Rabha, medical director of Tuinda Care, official distributor of TytoCare in Brazil.
TytoCare works simply and effectively. A local health worker, following the instructions provided by the app, can perform tests such as auscultation of the lungs and heart, temperature measurement, and evaluation of the oral cavity and ears. The information collected is transmitted in real time to a remote health professional, who guides the assessment and treatment. The local health professional feels confident providing care with remote assistance.
For Dr. Anna Clara Rabha, the medical representative of the company Tuinda Care, distributor of TytoCare technology in Brazil, through technology, health equity for indigenous peoples is possible. “With TytoCare, the indigenous community in Xingu is witnessing a revolution in medical care. This innovation not only overcomes geographical barriers, but also establishes a path to a healthier future,” she declared.
The benefits of TytoCare extend beyond effective diagnosis and treatment. The same physicians can prescribe appropriate medications after telemedicine assessment and monitor patients’ progress remotely, providing a more comprehensive healthcare approach with ongoing, easy follow-up care that was previously unfeasible.
Additionally, TytoCare plays a crucial role in the development of local healthcare professionals. Through training in the use of the device, these professionals feel more confident in coordinating patient care directly in the community, strengthening the health of the indigenous population of Xingu.
During the action carried out in Xingu, care was provided in different specialties such as clinical medicine, gynecology, dermatology and pediatrics. In fact, care for children in the community represented 38% of the 712 care provided. In addition, laboratory and imaging tests were performed.
