Professional medical advice anytime, anywhere

Thanks to the TytoHome telemedicine device

With the innovative TytoHome telemedicine device, you can carry out check-ups on yourself and your family anywhere and at any time. Then you simply send the data via the app to SWICA's telemedicine provider santé24.
Once you have sent the information, you contact santé24 by phone to receive a professional assessment and recommendation for treatment immediately – conveniently at your home instead of at the doctor's practice and at any time, day or night. This not only helps you to understand the problem quickly but also saves you money, because the consultation with santé24 is free of charge to SWICA customers.

Your health. Our priority.

How TytoHome worksDiscover advantagesAsk for advice

Ear infection, flu or something else?

If someone in your family gets sick, you want to understand the problem as soon as possible. With the easy-to-use TytoHome telemedicine device, you can carry out professional exams by yourself.

This saves you a lot of time, money and stress and allows you to take control of your family's health – all from the comfort of your home. Simple audio-visual instructions take you through the process step by step. Afterwards, you conveniently send the results by app to the medical specialists and doctors at santé24, SWICA's licensed telemedicine provider. After your call, santé24 studies the files, and a doctor then calls you back to discuss the exam results. This ensures that you get a professional diagnosis and recommendation right away – without going to the doctor's office, sitting in waiting rooms, and having to pay consultation fees.

«TytoHome is very easy and straightforward to use. Nothing can go wrong if you read the instructions. TytoHome gives me more flexibility and lets me do things when I want to. I strongly recommend using TytoHome.»
Peter Markstaller
«When my cold got worse I carried out and transmitted various exams with TytoHome. Shortly afterwards I got to have an initial phone call with a professional, and only an hour or so later had a phone consultation with a doctor – all without having to consult a medical practice. Great!»
Andrea Stutz

«I've been a satisfied SWICA customer for many years now. I've been using TytoHome as a test customer since 2020. It's very useful and has also been very beneficial during the holidays. I'm convinced of the value of this product. I also appreciate SWICA's contribution towards my cross-country ski pass.»

«Taking part in the TytoHome pilot saved us several visits to the doctor, and the feedback fed back directly into improving the service. We’re now keen users of telemedicine.»
