Habit Camera




Patients with neurological injuries, circulatory issues, limited mobility, or other skin issues often need to perform a daily skin inspection. The Habit Camera is the first low-cost, wireless camera purpose-built for skin inspection and telehealth. The device features an HD Wi-Fi camera, flexible gooseneck, and voice control to enable patients to perform skin inspection from the comfort of their homes, in turn enabling physicians to intervene early in wound cases.

Habit Camera was developed by Dr. Gary Goldish in the Minneapolis VA and is exclusively licensed to Paratroop LLC.
