MedWand Solutions is a US-based telehealth device and software company specializing in remote patient examination and vital sign capture. The company manufactures the MedWand Multi-Sensor Device, an FDA 510(k)-cleared hardware platform that enables clinicians to conduct comprehensive physical exams remotely via WiFi or cellular networks.

The company offers standalone kiosk deployment options requiring no EHR integration. Third-party Bluetooth device integration allows connection to external blood pressure monitors, glucometers, and weight scales. Key markets include primary care, transitional care, payers seeking HEDIS improvement, and international telehealth expansion (demonstrated operations in Thailand and Rwanda).
