FDA has cleared a TytoCare 510(k) for its Tyto Insights for Rhonchi Detection, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based device for detecting, during a virtual exam, all three major abnormal lung sounds — wheezes, crackles, and rhonchi. The company says the the diagnosis of these abnormal lung sounds presents a recognized challenge for trained medical professionals. “By combining smart digital stethoscope technology with AI that identifies key lung sound abnormalities, TytoCare enables providers to deliver faster, more accurate diagnoses, while patients will get timely, high-quality care from the comfort of their homes, reducing unnecessary clinic visits and improving health outcomes through earlier detection and intervention,” the company says.

The AI device is built on TytoCare’s proprietary database of 1.8 million lung sound recordings and leverages machine-learning algorithms trained and validated by pulmonologists, the company says. “Clinical validation demonstrated that the device performs equivalently to, or better than, non-pulmonologist clinicians — confirming that the algorithm is a powerful and reliable detector…,” it says, adding that the algorithm demonstrated “strong discriminative ability across all three sound types.”
