JEDMED Corporation, a global leader in advanced otoscopic solutions, and Otologic Technologies, developer of an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven diagnostic for ear diseases are proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership to deliver the world’s first AI-enabled digital otoscope.
Otologic Technologies was founded by Dr. Aaron Moberly of Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Professor Metin Nafi Gurcan of Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Dr. Moberly’s understanding that ears were being misdiagnosed — documented to be as high as 70% of the time — inspired him and Prof. Gurcan to develop the AI foundation that powers Otologic’s transformative platform.
“We are thrilled to partner with Otologic Technologies and to offer a digital otoscope that elevates care by leveraging artificial intelligence,” said Dan Wyatt, VP of Operations at JEDMED. “Our commitment to improving diagnostic precision and patient outcomes aligns perfectly with Otologic’s goal of bringing accessible and accurate ear care to the forefront of modern medicine.”

The new AI-enabled digital otoscope will seamlessly integrate with Otologic Technologies’ platform, providing medical professionals with automated diagnostic support and real-time image analysis for conditions of the middle ear. By generating a single enhanced image from the captured video feed and offering a probability of whether the ear is normal or diseased, healthcare providers will be able to make faster, more informed decisions.
“When we set out to develop this AI solution, our goal was always to empower healthcare providers with more accurate information and reduce avoidable misdiagnoses,” shared Dr. Aaron Moberly, Co-Founder of Otologic Technologies. “This partnership with JEDMED marks a huge step forward.”
“As a researcher focused on advancing medical imaging and diagnostic technologies, I see this collaboration as an important step in applying AI to clinical practice. Our goal is to develop tools that can support clinicians in making more informed decisions, and we believe this system has the potential to contribute to that effort,” added Professor Metin Gurcan, Co-Founder of Otologic Technologies. “Our aim in developing this AI solution has been to provide clinicians with additional diagnostic support by integrating advanced imaging and data analysis. We hope this collaboration will help improve accuracy where diagnostic challenges exist.”
