Zipline Health packages clinical ear imaging technology into a device simple enough for a toddler to use themselves. No training. No clinic. No waiting room.
Tested and validated by pediatricians and ENT surgeons
Travel. Waiting rooms. Urgent care with a 3-hour wait. The ER as a last resort. A sick, fussy child in a cold exam room — and when a child is distressed, a doctor often can't see the eardrum at all and ends up guessing. Then a high deductible bill. Do it again next time.
Your child is pulling at their ear at 2am. The clinic opens at 9. Urgent care is an hour wait. The telehealth doc can't see anything without an image. You wait and hope.
Existing home devices are designed after clinical instruments — rigid, awkward, uncomfortable and intimidating even in a doctor's hands, let alone a parent's. Impractical for most families.
There has never been a home device simple enough to use. To solve ALL of these problems.

My brother Chris's son Braeden had ear infection after ear infection. Every time: a car trip, a waiting room, a rushed appointment, a prescription. Chris said it plainly — "You have to be able to check at home and contact a doctor without all of this." He was right. That frustration became Zipline Health.
We built a clinical-grade otoscope with optics precise enough to capture diagnostic images, connected it to an app that a parent can operate in minutes, and wrapped it in a telehealth layer so the images actually go somewhere useful. Braeden is in our hero photo — a real kid, real ears, real problem we solved.
Zipline Health is a family company. We know what it costs — in time, money, and anxiety — to manage a child's health without the right tools. We built the tool we wished existed.
