Company profile
researched Sep 2026Remmie Health develops connected digital otoscopes and an accompanying mobile application for at-home and point-of-care examination of the ear, nose and throat. The devices capture high-definition images and video of the external ear canal and eardrum and let users stream live video or share recorded media with a clinician during a telehealth visit. Current products include the Remmie 3, a Wi-Fi otoscope with AI-guided image capture that operates with or without an internet connection; the Remmie 4, an AI-powered USB otoscope that plugs into a phone, tablet or computer; and Remmie PRO, positioned for physicians, nurses, medical assistants and telehealth teams. Devices are described as FDA-registered Class 1, CE Marked, and cleared by Health Canada and the Australian TGA. Published Remmie 3 specifications include a 3.9 mm camera diameter, 720p video at up to 30 fps, an 80-degree field of view, a 3000 mAh battery, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and five LED brightness levels; the app requires iOS/iPadOS 14 or Android 10 or later.
Alongside the hardware, the company operates Remmie Report, a service included with the Remmie 4 through the Remmie app in which users upload ear images and complete a physician-approved symptom questionnaire, receiving feedback on possible findings from a licensed clinician typically within 24 hours. Images and videos are stored in the device's photo gallery and in a HIPAA-compliant cloud accessible only to the account owner, and accounts support multiple profiles. Users may upload images from non-Remmie otoscopes. The company also maintains a physician support center with setup, troubleshooting, and billing and coding guidance for rural clinics, community health centers, hospitals and primary care practices. Targeted conditions include otitis media, otitis externa, pink eye, ear tube recovery, sinusitis, common cold, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, strep throat and hand-foot-mouth disease.
Founding story
Jane Zhang, Ph.D., MBA, founded Remmie after her young son suffered from recurring ear infections. She brings 15 years of healthcare product R&D and operations experience, including at Becton Dickinson and Amgen, holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Boston University and an MBA from UCLA, and is an Affiliate Assistant Professor at the University of Washington in biomedical diagnostic technologies.
Business model
Remmie sells hardware directly to consumers and to clinical users at $149 per device, with recurring revenue from consumables (specula sets at $10 for 10 pieces and $50 for 50 pieces) and from the Remmie Care/Remmie Report clinician-review service, priced at $10 per month for subscribers using their own device or $25 per submission without a subscription and free in the app during the launch period. The company states it does not itself provide diagnosis, telehealth or prescription services and does not charge for healthcare services; clinician review is delivered through licensed clinicians and users are directed to their own prescribing clinician for diagnosis or treatment. Third-party data describes the model as B2B2C spanning hardware sales and subscription software.
Revenue comes from one-time device sales at $149, replacement specula sets ($10 for 10 pieces, $50 for 50 pieces), and the Remmie Care subscription or per-submission clinician review service ($10 per month or $25 per submission). Purchases are FSA and HSA eligible. Use of the devices themselves does not require a subscription.
Traction
Company-reported figures state that 67% of users avoided an in-person doctor's visit, 90% would recommend Remmie to friends and family, and average cost savings per avoided ER visit is $2,032. Five products are listed in the online store, all in stock. A third-party tracker reports roughly 15 employees, a 1-10 employee band in another listing, total funding of $4.85M, a top-25% momentum ranking, and monthly website visitors of about 3,600 in July 2026, up 71% month over month.
Latest developments
The current lineup centers on the Remmie 4 AI-powered USB otoscope, marketed alongside the Remmie 3 and Remmie PRO, and on the Remmie Report clinician-review service, free in the Remmie app during its launch period. In August 2025 the company was selected as a top finalist in the Pediatric track at Pitch. Launch. A third-party tracker recorded an accelerator round dated June 30, 2025 and a market signal in July 2026 showing monthly website visitors up 71% month over month to about 3,600.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Remmie operates in the connected diagnostics and telehealth device segment, positioned between consumer over-the-counter otoscopes and clinical ENT imaging equipment. Third-party data classifies it under healthcare and life sciences with verticals in medical devices, telemedicine, D2C brands and health IoT, and identifies Blueberry Pediatrics, TympaHealth and TytoCare as the closest comparable companies. It is a private company in the 1-10 to 15 employee range, with total disclosed funding reported at $4.85M by one tracker.
Remmie combines a low-cost consumer otoscope with AI-guided image capture (an "AI Eardrum Finder"), live video streaming and an asynchronous clinician-review workflow, rather than offering imaging hardware alone. Device regulatory registrations span the US, EU, Canada and Australia. A pediatric otolaryngologist quoted by the company describes the device as offering a marked improvement in image quality and resolution relative to previous over-the-counter video otoscopes. The app also accepts images from other otoscopes, and no subscription is required to use the devices themselves.
Technology
The products pair a portable otoscope camera with a cloud-enabled mobile and desktop application. Remmie 3 specifications include a 3.9 mm lens, 720p HD video up to 30 fps, an 80-degree field of view, waterproof construction, a 3000 mAh battery, 5V/1A DC power, five LED brightness levels and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for real-time streaming that also works without an internet connection; Remmie 4 uses a wired USB connection to phones, tablets or computers. The app provides AI-guided image capture ("AI Eardrum Finder"), live video streaming to clinicians, saved photo and video records, multiple user profiles, and HIPAA-compliant cloud storage accessible only to the account owner. Apps run on iOS/iPadOS 14 or later and Android 10 or later, with Windows and Mac versions also available. External data classifies the company's AI as application-layer.
Go-to-market
Remmie sells devices and specula through its own e-commerce storefront, supported by social channels including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitter, and promotes FSA/HSA eligibility for purchases. A parallel professional channel targets clinicians through a physician support center covering device setup, clinical workflow integration, EMR/EHR documentation and billing and coding practices, addressing rural health communities, health clinics, hospitals and primary care and family physicians. The company has participated in accelerator and innovation programs and was named a top finalist in the Pediatric track at Pitch. Launch. in August 2025.
Consumers and families — particularly parents of young children with recurring ear infections, adults with allergies or chronic ear and sinus conditions, older adults with hearing issues, and people with mobility limitations or immune impairment — plus healthcare professionals and organizations including rural clinics, community health centers and urgent care, hospitals, primary care and family physicians, and telehealth teams.
Geography
The company is a US-based private company; third-party sources list its headquarters as Seattle, Washington and, in another listing, Culver City, California. Its devices carry regulatory registrations and clearances covering the United States (FDA Class 1 registration), Europe (CE Mark), Canada (Health Canada MDEL) and Australia (TGA), indicating availability across those markets. Products ship with free same-day shipping via the company's online store.
History
The company was founded in 2018 and has been known previously as MiVUE. It has iterated through several device generations — the Wi-Fi-connected Remmie 3, the USB-connected AI-powered Remmie 4, and the clinical-grade Remmie PRO — and has added the Remmie Report clinician-review service to its app. Third-party trackers list the company variously in Seattle, Washington and Culver City, California, and record a series of grants and accelerator participations between 2022 and 2025.
Risks & controversies
Publicly listed firmographic data is inconsistent across trackers, with headquarters given as both Seattle, Washington and Culver City, California and differing founder, funding and round records. The company's devices are FDA Class 1 registered rather than FDA cleared or approved, and Remmie explicitly states that its otoscope is an examination tool only and that it does not provide diagnosis, telehealth or prescription services, leaving clinical decisions with a user's own clinician.
