Shorter Lines at Urgent Care Centers: TytoCare Partners with Allina Health to Incorporate Unique Remote Patient Monitoring

Transforming Urgent Care with TytoCare’s Pro Smart Clinic Technology

New York, NY – May 6, 2025 – TytoCare is working with Allina Health, a large Midwest health care system with patients across Minnesota and Western Wisconsin, to offer patients a unique hybrid care program aimed at reducing wait times and increasing the number of patients that can be seen at its locations. By deploying TytoCare’s Pro Smart Clinic solution in 12 urgent care locations, Allina Health is now offering on-demand virtual care teams that can treat individuals remotely using TytoCare’s advanced virtual care technology. As a result, patient wait times have been reduced and daily patient volumes have increased. Patients with simple reasons for visiting an urgent care now have more services offered, including a hybrid care model, allowing them to access care in the way that works best for them and their families.  

TytoCare’s technology is also being used in hospital settings at Allina Health. After receiving positive feedback, the system has decided to increase the use of these devices in its hospitals by 20%.

TytoCare’s Pro Smart Clinic empowers healthcare providers to conduct remote exams comparable to in-person visits. These include heart and lung exams (featuring AI-driven wheeze and crackle detection), 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 convenience for patients.

“At Allina Health, we are dedicated to providing expert care to patients when, where and how they need it. By deploying TytoCare’s Pro Smart Clinic devices in 12 urgent care locations, we are ensuring patients can access more care options tailored to their medical needs,” said Maggie Dreon, Manager of Virtual Care at Allina Health. “By increasing our virtual care capabilities, we can call on virtual providers to assist urgent care clinics that are experiencing a higher volume of patients, allowing more patients to be treated in a timely fashion.”

“The Pro Smart Clinic tools being used by Allina Health in what they call a Blended Visit, significantly reducing wait times while maintaining high-quality care,” said Dedi Gilad, CEO and Co-Founder of TytoCare. “With TytoCare’s AI and additional advanced capabilities, Allina Health clinicians gain valuable support in diagnosing and treating patients remotely with confidence.”

Through collaborations with federally qualified health centers and health systems like Allina Health, TytoCare’s devices are now present in 134 hospitals and urgent care facilities across all 50 states. In urgent care settings, the Pro Smart Clinic significantly shortens wait times and improves patient outcomes by enabling remote clinical staff to accurately assess and treat a wide range of health conditions. Urgent Cares that have incorporated TytoCare devices were able to resolve 95% of visits remotely, with 90% of patients likely to return.
