# Do I always need the device kit before my first appointment? Does Omply work without it?

Not always. Many concerns can be addressed through video appointment alone. However, for certain symptoms, connected diagnostic devices allow your doctor to perform a more thorough assessment. If devices are recommended, we’ll guide you through the process.
