Who We Are
Here at Remmie, we help families play a more active role in their health and transform primary care by putting digital tools into their hands. We use technology to target the #1 reason children go to the doctors office... ear, nose and throat symptoms.
We are passionate about empowering families to evaluate these symptoms at home, and providing telemedicine doctors with a precise view of their patients’ symptoms and improving diagnostic accuracy.
Remmie Health offers AI-powered ear-nose-throat (ENT) solutions to minimize unnecessary doctor visits and improve access to ENT specialists or accurate diagnosis. With a family digital otoscope and a telehealth-enabling app, users are guided by AI to record ENT medical history at home, stream real-time physical findings and examinations to telemedicine services, and receive clinical insights and prescriptions. In the future, providers will be supported by Remmie AI-powered diagnosis aid. This not only empowers individuals in managing their health but also aids telemedicine providers in accurate diagnostics, transforming primary care by bridging digital technology and healthcare.
Our Story
It all started when Jane (our founder)’s son had an ear infection soon after starting child care. After a long year with four infections and an especially stubborn episode that lasted 40 days, Jane has a PhD degree in biomedical engineering, specialized in the home settings, and realized there were many others who are seeking support and wanting a full night of sleep. This was pre-pandemic, pre-telehealth was popular, and pre-AI. While the first thing that her pediatrician was asking her to do was to "look for yourself" in the ear, nose, and throat. she decided to design a home otoscope that doctors used for 100 years to "look" with their eyeball, except this time, it should be intelligent enough for family use, to identify what the eardrum looks ilke, to record, share, receive answers, prescription, evern treatment plans online.
She tried multiple otoscopes that didn't satisfy, either with a stright stick shape that was too dangerous to put into a kid's ear, generated poor images, got too hot, too big to fit, too hard to shovel in, or with a wifi that connected to the phone that blocked internet to seek telehealth. The image was lack of guidance. Most parents don't know what an eardrum looks like. She then went ahead to build the otoscope that was easy to use, never gets too hot, uses a rubber tip, has super high quality images that clinicians marvel about, and the telehealth and AI system that links from the otoscope, guide the user to generate useful images for clinicians to tell remotely. She continues with her initial efforts, and hopes to help all families going through tough time dealing with ear infections and hearing issues globally.
It’s 3 am, and my 2-yr-old son woke up again, crying with a fever while tugging his ear. This was just one of many sleepless nights after I started sending him to childcare. This happened to coincide with the time that I started a high-stress job. After speaking with many parents, I decided to share my story as I realized I wasn’t alone. I learned to deal with the misdiagnosis, antibiotic allergy and resistance, rejection of the second opinion, fear of getting an ear tube, and an emergency Rocephin injection to curtail his fever… and I’m sharing so you don’t have to.
