Xiao-e is a tool application for otoscope. Through Wi Fi and connecting ear picking equipment, the real-time picture of ear canal can be displayed on the mobile phone, and the ear canal can be easily pulled out to see the situation in the ear canal. At the same time, when you preview the real-time picture, you can take photos and video to save the pictures or videos at that time, so as to compare whether there is any abnormality in the ear canal.
