Works with All Makes of Devices

Deviceware is a service that can be used with a variety of manufacturers' equipment, including various brands of diagnostic instruments for audiometry, tympanometry, OAE, ABR, fittling systems and video otoscopy.

Most newer devices are PC-controlled and can be used with Deviceware, Devices that are not PC-based will not be compatible, due to their inability to be remotely managed and controlled.

The RemotEAR Concept

RemotEAR's Deviceware technology enables you to perform remote diagnostic testing using the equipment you probably already have. It's as simple as that -- and also that powerful. With just an Internet connection, you can quickly connect to a remote office and administer a range of audiological tests with a patient, and then communicate with them to explain the results. Deviceware works best when an Assistant is present to ensure that the patient is comfortable and appropriately positioned for testing, and also to help place the transducers and operate the probes for some of the measurements during the diagnostic testing process.

The Deviceware system is a simple, affordable and flexible way to assess patients at a distance, and perform needed screening or diagnostic services without having to travel to a remote office location. It's a valuable additional tool for today's busy hearing care professional, and is affordably priced.
