At-home diagnoses the future of healthcare? 5 key points

Digital startups are developing diagnostic tools that focus on self-monitoring, according to Medscape.

Here are five key points:

1. Technology is speeding up the process of diagnosing and offering more data.

2. A virtual liver biopsy uses MRI imaging, helping physicians catch issues like nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

3. Remote diagnoses are possible with the Tyto Care device, which inputs a patient's temperature, listens to the heart beat and captures pictures of the mouth and skin.

4. This information travels directly to a physician via a database, with which the physicians can asses the patient's health from afar.

5. Other technology includes at-home eye exams and apps for skin condition diagnoses.
