5 ways iXope improves a GP practice every day

General practice is the first point of contact for most patients. GPs are expected to assess, reassure and, where possible, treat patients for numerous conditions. Traditional tools often limit what can be done in-house, though, enabling you to see problems you can’t fix. 

iXope changes the daily experience of running a practice. Designed by a doctor for doctors, this compact device combines a dermatoscope, otoscope and ophthalmoscope, with digital imaging, wireless transfer and inbuilt slit lamp and microsuction capabilities. 

Here are 5 ways iXope transforms everyday general practice.

1. Increased billing opportunities

Picture a patient arriving with ear pain. A standard otoscope allows you to take a look only to discover impacted earwax is blocking your view. Without microsuction capability, you’d have to refer the patient to get the wax removed before you could complete your examination and diagnose the cause of their ear pain. 

With iXope, you can remove the impacted cerumen immediately and bill for the procedure. The same applies to corneal foreign body removal: a procedure that is typically outsourced now becomes achievable within your clinic. These services create new revenue streams, supporting practice sustainability while improving patient care.

2. Improved patient experience

Patients value efficiency and convenience. When they present with a problem like ear or eye pain, they’d much prefer it to be dealt with in one consultation with their local GP. They don’t particularly relish the time, cost and inconvenience of having to see another provider on a different day in a different location. 

Imagine a farmer who arrives with a piece of metal in his eye after an accident with some machinery. Instead of sending him on a long trip to the nearest hospital, where he might face more hours in the emergency department, you can remove the foreign body right there in your clinic with iXope.

For families in rural areas, avoiding unnecessary referrals can mean saving days of travel and lost work. Even for city-based patients, convenience is a vital aspect of healthcare. Each time you provide immediate treatment, you reduce frustration and strengthen loyalty to your practice.

3. EMR integrations made simple

Every consultation is faster when the technology works with you. With iXope, images captured during an exam can be transferred wirelessly to your desktop and added directly to your practice management software.

This saves time otherwise spent on long written descriptions and ensures you have reliable, visual records to support ongoing care. 

4. Clearer record keeping and communication with specialists

Documentation is more than admin – it protects both doctor and patient. Instead of relying on hurried notes, you can capture and store sharp, high-resolution images with iXope.

These images can be shared with specialists, making referrals faster and more accurate. Instead of trying to describe a lesion or ear condition, you can supply the image, aiding triage and care.

5. Autonomous in-practice care

Many minor procedures once required referral simply because GPs lacked the right equipment. There’s no spare room in general practice for large, cumbersome items like slit lamps. 

With iXope, autonomy is restored. You can conduct skin checks with digital dermatoscopy, remove foreign bodies from the eye and suction earwax away, all within your own practice.

This benefits both doctor and patient. It reduces delays, increases trust, and allows you to provide comprehensive care without unnecessary external handovers.

A tool designed for daily practice

Every GP knows that time is precious and resources are stretched. iXope helps address both challenges, enabling you to do more in less time while generating new revenue opportunities.
