Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The Cellscope is an iPhone-based otoscope that uses the iPhone camera and light source to capture HIPAA compliant images and video recordings of the external and middle ear structure. This technology allows multiple providers, at different levels of training, the ability to simultaneously exam a child's external and middle ear structures. The investigators hypothesize this device will result in improved concordance in trainee/supervisor exam findings, increase trainee confidence in exam findings, decreased antibiotic prescriptions, and fewer repeat exams by multiple providers. Thus, this study has the potential to improve physician training and examination confidence, decrease the unnecessary use of antibiotics, and improve the patient/caregiver experience in healthcare interactions.
