Diagnosing Ear Infections on Your Smart Phone

Have you heard of this?  As a parent of a toddler who has had 3+ ear infections in her 16 short months of life thus far, I am thoroughly intrigued by the Oto Home.  This handy dandy device attaches to your smartphone, where it takes a video of your child's ear drum.  Then, without visiting the doctor, you can send the video in for a diagnosis.  

What will they think of next?!

Crazy! Of course, I am slightly skeptical as a provider who sees parents think that antibiotics are magic solution, but if it saves you an office visit and bill -- great! :)
