A Community-Led Health Transformation Project Backed by Nishnawbe Aski Nation Reimagines Care for Canada’s Most Remote Communities
Cat Lake, ON — February 10, 2026 — TytoCare has partnered with Cat Lake First Nation ᐱᔑᐎᓴᑲᐃ ᑲᓂᒃ in Northern Ontario to help reshape healthcare delivery in one of Canada’s most remote Indigenous communities. The initiative introduces a community-led advanced diagnostic virtual care model designed to overcome severe access barriers in fly-in and ice-road-only regions, while prioritizing self-determination, cultural alignment, and clinical excellence.
TytoCare’s Pro Smart Clinic enables remote exams comparable to in-person visits. These include heart and lung exams (featuring a world first AI Lung Suite detecting abnormal lung sounds), throat and ear assessments, skin exams and body temperature measurements. By leveraging this technology, clinicians can diagnose and treat more conditions remotely, reducing the need for traditional in-office visits by creating unique pathways for faster access to care focused on improving health outcomes for patients.
Cat Lake First Nation will deploy multiple TytoClinics across new and existing community care paths. Physicians from Sioux Lookout Regional Physician Services will deliver care remotely, supported in community by Indigenous Services Canada nurses. A rigorous three-phase evaluation—planning, implementation, and impact—is being led by the Centre for Digital Health Evaluation (CDHE) at Women’s College Hospital, and the Thunder Bay Regional Health Research Institute (TBRHRI) using the Canadian Network for Digital Health Evaluation (CNDHE) framework. This ensures alignment with national standards and positions the pilot for broader recognition and scale.
This initiative addresses urgent healthcare challenges in communities lacking permanent road access, where limited medical services often result in costly and disruptive medevacs. By introducing advanced diagnostic capabilities, the program shifts the focus from a standard primary care model to diagnostic care—improving continuity, reducing unnecessary evacuations, and ensuring patients receive high-quality treatment within their own community.
“This project reflects a fundamentally different approach to virtual care,” said Joe Brennan, VP at TytoCare. “It is community-led, clinically rigorous, and designed around the realities of remote Indigenous communities. Cat Lake First Nation and NAN are showing what is possible when technology supports local leadership.”
“With the support of regional medical professionals and TytoCare’s advanced diagnostic tools, Cat Lake First Nation is entering a new era of healthcare,” said Chief Russell Wesley. “By enabling direct physician communication and enhanced remote monitoring, we are moving far beyond traditional telehealth. For a remote community without year-round road access, this innovation does more than eliminate the burdens of medical travel—it makes high-quality local care a reality. We are building a foundation of wellness for future generations and demonstrating a sustainable healthcare model for other Nishnawbe Aski Nation communities.”
This partnership marks TytoCare’s first public sector project in Canada and represents a significant step toward expanding equitable access to healthcare in remote and underserved regions.

Background (Project, Cat Lake First Nation and TytoCare)
This collaborative initiative is driven by a forward-looking coalition of partners committed to Indigenous health equity. Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) provides strategic leadership, with critical insight and support from Boehringer Ingelheim’s PATHWAYS initiative. Clinical expertise and integration are led by the Sioux Lookout Regional Physicians’ Services (SLRPSI). Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority (SLFNHA) and Indigenous Services Canada (ISC).

About Cat Lake First Nation ᐱᔑᐎᓴᑲᐃ ᑲᓂᒃ
Cat Lake First Nation is a remote Anishinaabe community located approximately 180 kilometers north of Sioux Lookout in Northwestern Ontario. As a fly-in community, Cat Lake is home to a population of approximately 650 residents living on-reserve. The community remains disconnected from all-season provincial road networks, relying instead on air travel and a limited seasonal ice road that is only accessible for a short period each year. Today, Cat Lake remains a vibrant community that honors its traditions of harvesting and fishing—while leading the way in modern health and sustainability initiatives to protect its heritage and support its future generations.

Following Its Mission to Remove Access Barriers, Sunrise Clinics Will Deploy TytoCare in 20 School-Based Health Centers and Plans Expansion into Clinic Sites Across New Mexico
Santa Rosa, NM and New York, NY, November 4, 2025 – Sunrise Clinics, a Community Health Center serving rural and underserved communities across New Mexico, announced today that it is expanding its care capabilities through the deployment of TytoCare’s Pro Smart Clinic technology.

With future additional state funding, Sunrise Clinics intends to expand the program’s reach and enable further growth into new schools. The organization also has plans to deploy the Pro Smart Clinic across its four main clinic locations.
“Introducing TytoCare into our schools and clinics is a transformative step toward our mission of improving access to care for New Mexico’s rural and underserved populations,” said Johanna Georgilas, COO at Sunrise Clinics. “This initiative will not only enhance the services we already provide but will also allow us to grow our school-based programs and extend our reach to even more families in need.”

Transforming the Home into the Center of Always-On, Proactive Healthcare With AI-Guided Care
New York, NY — October 15, 2025 — TytoCare is announcing a major leap forward in AI innovation for solving the primary care crisis. Building on its Home Smart ClinicTM foundation of advanced diagnostics, with FDA-clearance for both its devices and AI-driven diagnostic algorithms, TytoCare, the only company with the depth and scale of clinical data to truly deliver on the promise of AI based diagnosis in primary care, is pioneering a new standard in primary care: the Smart Clinic Companion.
The Smart Clinic Companion will enable patients to conduct clinical-grade remote exams and smart primary care interaction, receiving validated medical information relevant to their current needs and guiding them on whether to seek further medical attention or manage their condition at home. The Companion will support the entire visit experience, from smart intake, exam guidance, clinical insights, and actionable next steps. It will also support ongoing general health, from providing answers to common health questions to always-on alerts and insights based on gathered ongoing data. The Companion is powered by an array of clinical intelligence agents, developed by TytoCare based on its proprietary clinical data and in conjunction with expert clinicians and top clinical validated LLMs.
TytoCare, recently named one of the Top HealthTech Companies for 2025 by TIME and included in the 2025 Best Inventions List by TIME, has already redefined remote care by making physical exams accessible from the comfort of home to over 1.6M patients and 35K clinicians using TytoCare’s technology. Now, as a mature and well-established market leader with a proven track record, TytoCare is uniquely positioned to launch the next generation of AI-powered care.
TytoCare’s Smart Clinic Companion is being built on the world’s largest repository of multi-modal primary care data (over 7M exams): spanning clinical-grade home diagnostics, and outcomes. The Smart Clinic Companion will combine the rich dataset with advanced AI algorithms and integration with world’s top LLMs to anticipate clinical needs, and guide care with precision. The result will be enhanced access to always-on personalized primary care, addressing needs as they arise and reducing the burden on an overstretched healthcare system. From addressing everyday symptoms to managing chronic conditions, this data-driven approach empowers faster, smarter decision-making that supports clinicians and patients, without compromising quality.
Backed by an unmatched dataset: over 7 million unique exams including contextual patient information of lung sound recordings, temperature records, ear images, heart sounds, throat images, and skin images, TytoCare holds the largest multi-modal primary care dataset in the world. This dataset grows by 33% annually and spans demographics, symptoms, usage behavior, prescriptions, and diagnoses. In the future, TytoCare will also integrate data from wearable devices, further enriching its insights and diagnostic capabilities. Clinical experts, including pulmonologists, pediatrics, family doctors, cardiologists, and ENT specialists, rigorously annotate the data to train the Tyto Insights™ engine for precise, condition-specific diagnostics.
TytoCare’s FDA-cleared AI already supports diagnostic decisions for wheezes, crackles, and rhonchi, with additional ENT related clearances underway. Clinical validation demonstrated that TytoCare’s existing FDA-cleared AI perform equivalently to, or better than a PCP. Capabilities of the Smart Clinic Companion will be released to design partners and beta testers in Q4 2025, and its progressive expansion will begin rolling out in stages, with broader launch starting in February 2026.
The Smart Clinic Companion has been designed with safeguards built in from the ground up, meeting all regulatory requirements for Responsible AI, HIPAA, GDPR, HITRUST, and SOC 2. Every component of the solution is developed with risk minimization in mind: clinician validation, real-world performance monitoring, and continuous oversight are embedded into the platform. By design, TytoCare keeps clinicians and patients firmly in the driver’s seat, while delivering reliable, safe, and responsible care.
Primary care is in crisis, marked by clinician shortages, surging demand, and fractured access to consistent care. Today, 30% of Americans lack access to a primary care physician, and the U.S. is projected to face a shortfall of up to 40,000 PCPs by 2036. Despite increased spending, outcomes continue to lag. TytoCare’s AI-driven solution offers a fundamentally new path forward, built on a data advantage no other company can claim.
“The world is grappling with a fundamental crisis in primary care: despite numerous efforts, meaningful progress remains elusive. We are facing a systemic breakdown, and it demands a bold, intelligent response,” said Dedi Gilad, CEO and Co-Founder of TytoCare. “From the start, we knew that clinical data and ability to analyze it would be one of our core differentiators. We’ve built the largest and most clinically annotated dataset in the world, and that’s what powers our AI to deliver real results in primary care. By leveraging our existing FDA-cleared algorithms and building more to create our Smart Clinic Companion, we will truly reinvent the way that primary care is delivered and consumed from home.”

Innovative Tool Helps to Ensure Quality and Significantly Increase Patient Visits
New York, NY — September 30, 2025—VNS Health, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit home- and community-based health care organizations, has partnered with TytoCare, a leader in remote diagnostic technology, to enhance the VNS Health Medical Care at Home practice. This collaboration brings TytoCare’s Pro Smart Clinic tool into the homes of patients with complex medical needs, helping to deliver more personalized and specialized care for high-risk patients in the comfort of their own homes.
VNS Health’s Medical Care at Home program provides in-home health care for patients who face significant health challenges, mobility limitations, or barriers to accessing outpatient services. Nurse Practitioners (NPs) lead clinical care for the practice, supported by a team that ensures patients receive timely, coordinated services designed to reduce hospitalizations and emergency room visits. Medical Care at Home contracts with Medicare Advantage insurers and is part of VNS Health’s Care Management Solutions business.
With the integration of TytoCare’s Pro Smart Clinic, VNS Health is expanding its hybrid care model. Here’s how it works: during a home visit, a VNS Health certified medical assistant (CMA) sets up the Pro Smart Clinic device and connects the Home Care patient via telehealth with a Nurse Practitioner. The medical assistant then uses the tool to conduct real-time diagnostic exams—such as heart and lung monitoring, temperature checks, and skin assessments—while the NP guides the process remotely and provides immediate clinical feedback.
This model enables VNS Health to:
- Deliver timely, high-quality care without requiring patients with complex needs to travel
- Ensure a qualified health professional is physically present during exams
- Help patients avoid multiple appointments and delays in diagnosis
- Support faster health plan documentation and approvals
- Doubles the number of patients NPs can see daily by eliminating “windshield time” (the time clinicians spend driving between patient visits)
“This partnership with TytoCare is helping us scale our Medical Care at Home program while maintaining the high standards of care our patients expect,” said Debra Corbett, Vice President of Care Management Solutions at VNS Health. “By combining smart technology with our mission-driven and team-based approach, we’re making it easier for patients with complex needs to get the care they deserve, when they need it, right in their homes.”
“We’re proud to support VNS Health in expanding access to high-quality, in-home care,” said Dedi Gilad, CEO and Co-Founder of TytoCare. “With our Pro Smart Clinic solution, the home becomes an extension of the clinic, enabling seamless collaboration between in-home medical assistants and virtual nurse practitioners. It’s a scalable model that improves outcomes and optimizes clinical resources.”
About VNS Health
VNS Health is one of the nation’s largest nonprofit home- and community-based health care organizations. Innovating in health care for more than 130 years, our commitment to health and well-being of the whole person is what drives us—we help people live, age, and heal where they feel most comfortable, in their own homes, connected to their family and community.
