What are you offering patients that other clinics can’t?
When you can’t give immediate care, quality care, and wow your patients, all at the same time... then they start asking themselves ‘what am I actually paying for?’

Async and telehealth should be a growth engine
Every practice in your space offers telehealth. The ones winning are the ones who are available the moment a patient needs them, instead of ‘wait until tomorrow’. A panel full of happy patients is how you differentiate and grow.
Every sore throat visit costs you more than it should
Without a clear exam it’s hard to complete a virtual visit. Doctors who deliver high-quality virtual care can delight their patients and save an average of 30 minutes per patient. It's a win-win.
Feeling pressured to prescribe antibiotics without a good exam?
With async chats and video calls, you can’t examine the throat well and Centor criteria alone isn't enough. You can’t diagnose what you can’t see.
Until now.
How to turn a 30-minute visit into 3 minutes
Capture
The patient downloads the CurieDx™ app, captures an image of their throat with in-app camera guidance. No tongue depressor or prior training.
Review
You review the throat photo and the symptom summary during the virtual visit. Everything you need to support your clinical assessment.

Pediatric emergency physician, Johns Hopkins · 12 years in practice
I built CurieDx after watching patients wait 3 hours for minor sore throats and coughs. Patients and clinicians both deserve better tools, so no one has to wait that long again.
Built by a Johns Hopkins pediatric ER physician
CurieDx was founded by Therese Canares, MD, MBA, a pediatric emergency physician at Johns Hopkins, alongside world-renowned Johns Hopkins computer scientists.
Peer-reviewed in Nature
The CurieDx and Johns Hopkins research team published their findings in Nature Communications. This system produces an instant, clear throat image, correlated to immediate clinician trust.
Trained on 60 million lab-validated data points
The CurieDx camera-guidance technology was developed with a large and diverse image library across pediatric and adult patients. It’s built to enable a full virtual visit in 3 minutes.
Practices with telehealth are running CurieDx today
Everyone prefers a picture before a swab. No doubt about it.
This is the whole point of Curie...the [parents’] text messages come in at 7 a.m. Kids have to be ready for school by 8:30. That time point right there between 7:00 and 8:00: ‘Should I keep them home or should I send them to school?’ Download the CurieDx app...and I'll let you know if he's good for school. It's saving parents time and saving us time.
[CurieDx] is making life easier for everybody. It makes life easier for the parents that don't have to schlep in unnecessarily. It makes life easier for us, [so] that we don't have to take a visit away from somebody else that maybe could have used it. And it helps us on call on the weekends… I feel like all the doctors are now using it, all the time.
I didn't want to give [the patient] antibiotics unnecessarily... but if this is strep, I'd like to... not wait ‘till Monday. So I [used] the app, and it just gave me a lot of reassurance.
FAQ
What is CurieDx?
CurieDx is an app that helps patients capture a clear throat exam with a photo and share a symptom review with their clinician during a telehealth visit. This allows the clinician to make an informed independent diagnosis or treatment decision for each patient. The app is not intended to replace the clinician’s independent judgment, act as a standalone diagnostic tool, or replace traditional confirmatory testing. Built by a pediatric emergency physician at Johns Hopkins.
How does CurieDx help with a sore throat visit?
CurieDx helps in two ways: (1) the in-app camera guidance assists patients in capturing a clearer image of the throat without a tongue depressor, and (2) a symptom review allows patients to quickly report exhibited symptoms in an accessible and easy-to-read manner to support the clinician in making an informed, independent assessment for each patient without the hassle of an in-person visit.
Higher quality telehealth and async exams means clinicians can evaluate their patients immediately and remotely.
Is CurieDx FDA approved?
Based on its current features and intended use, CurieDx does not require FDA premarket review or registration. CurieDx is not FDA approved or cleared as a standalone diagnostic device.
CurieDx is designed to be a supportive communication and data-gathering tool to support clinician decision making. Our platform helps users capture clear images of their throat and securely collect patient-reported symptoms. This information is then organized and provided to a healthcare professional to assist them in their independent evaluation.
Is CurieDx safe for pediatric patients?
CurieDx is designed to fit all clinical workflows, including pediatric care. The platform helps patients capture a clear throat photo, without the painful gag of a tongue depressor, and allows patients to quickly and easily report symptoms to their provider. This allows the provider to receive the information they need for medical decision making. All diagnostic interpretations, clinical decisions, and treatment plans are made by the treating clinician.
How does CurieDx work with my EHR?
CurieDx runs alongside your existing telehealth workflow, with no IT integration required, so your clinicians can be up and running quickly. The patient's throat photo and organized symptom analysis can be saved to the patient record, keeping everything in one place. Need a specific EHR integration? Let us know and we'll walk through exactly how CurieDx fits on a demo.
How long does it take to setup?
Setup is simple and can be completed in under an hour, with no IT integration required. You'll create an account, invite your clinicians, share a simple link with patients, and you're ready to go. CurieDx runs alongside your existing workflow, and our team is available to help you get started.
Who built CurieDx?
