Zipline packages an ultra-flexible, self-positioning ear camera into a device simple enough for a toddler to use on 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.
What made it possible wasn't just imaging — it was solving a deceptively hard problem: how do you get a camera precisely aligned with an eardrum, inside a wiggly child's ear, without pain, without training, without the years of skill a clinician develops? Years of iteration and 8 issued and allowed US patents later, the answer is self-positioning technology. The Iris™ probe is ultra-flexible — it floats into natural alignment with the eardrum on its own. No pressure. No force. No technique to learn. A child at home with a painless device is calmer than in any clinic — and often delivers a better image as a result. 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.
