Now you can add physical distance to your ear exams even while wearing a face mask and shield. The Wispr Digital Otoscope’s LCD touchscreen provides an expanded, arms length view of the eardrum so it does not require your eye to be directly adjacent to the patient’s face. Further, the ability to easily capture video and images means that you can review for diagnosis at a safe distance.
See What You’ve Been MissingThe Wispr by WiscMed® is a new, innovative digital otoscope that solves the shortcomings of other devices. It delivers reliable access and a clear view of small or partially obstructed ear canals that are otherwise inaccessible with other otoscopes.
The ear exam workflow remains similar to traditional otoscopes although you will likely find that the exam is faster, easier and more accurate with the Wispr. The Wispr Digital Otoscope is truly the first of its kind, it features:

A 10 month old previously healthy male is brought in by his mother with concern for fever and fussiness. The child continues to take nourishment and have wet diapers. On exam, he is alert, bright-eyed, drooling with brisk capillary refill. Rhinorrhea is noted, and breath sounds are normal. Ear exam reveals first image. This child has acute otitis media (AOM). The tympanic membrane is bulging (donut shaped) with erythema and loss of bony landmarks.
Exam of the other ear reveals second image and the same condition, acute otitis media (AOM).
In the Wispr video from the examination of the 10-month old, you can see that these views would have been difficult to achieve with a traditional analog otoscope because of canal size and wax.

“Our hope is that the availability of digital otoscopy in the office setting may improve our diagnostic skills and therefore lead to more judicious use of antimicrobials. This remains to be seen. Prospective studies need to be done, but it’s an exciting development.”

Pediatric mode enables the display of seven pre-loaded images meant to appeal to children. This feature can be used to build patient comfort prior to the otoscopy exam, “What do you think I’ll see in your ear?”, or to have a light moment with the patient or the family after the exam, “Look what I found in your ear!” Pediatric mode is optional and by default is turned off.
It is implemented such that it will not interfere with your normal clinical flow. Pediatric Mode Video Link
