TytoCare CEO and Co-Founder Dedi Gilad claims the platform will allow Prisma physicians to "fully replicate an in-person visit."
Prisma Health – South Carolina's largest not-for-profit health system -- is teaming up with telehealth platform TytoCare in a partnership that both organizations say will improve remote diagnostics and treatments.
"At Prisma Health we're committed to improving access to quality, convenient, and affordable care to our patients," said Nick Patel, MD, chief digital officer of Greenville-based Prisma Health. "Through our partnership, we can now reach more patients, decrease costs, and transform the virtual care experience. We look forward to working together with TytoCare to offer our patients clinic-quality, at-home care in this new era of telehealth."

Dedi Gilad, CEO and co-founder of Israel-based TytoCare, said the platform will allow Prisma physicians to "fully replicate an in-person visit."
"TytoCare is enabling Prisma Health to provide the telehealth experience consumers desire in today's on-demand world, allowing for more thorough virtual care when it's most convenient for the patient," Gilad said.
