AI enabling digital urine diagnostics in the home
Starling is building a urine diagnostic remote patient monitoring platform that seamlessly integrates into anyone's bathroom routine. By detecting early changes in a patient's urine using our toilet indwelling mass spectroscopy device, our platform is aiming to prevent hospitalizations from numerous conditions like recurrent UTIs, BPH exacerbations, or diabetes. We do this while creating significant new annual revenues for our clinician partners from remote patient monitoring reimbursements without requiring any significant changes in a staff's day to day schedule.
Starling Medical provides an at-home urine monitoring system, UrinDx, with a care team and app to deliver real-time urinary health insights and proactive care coordination. The program aims to empower patients and providers to prevent complications like recurrent UTIs through daily monitoring and nurse-monitored support.
UrinDx is an at-home urine monitoring device installed in a user’s bathroom. It collects urinary health data each night and transmits insights to Starling's care team via the Starling App. Patients track health insights, symptoms, and upcoming telehealth appointments in the app, while the care team can reach out with next steps if clinical concerns arise. The system emphasizes a nurse-monitored dashboard, patient-facing insights, and coordination with providers for preventive care and timely interventions.
Who it’s for: Healthcare providers (urology, primary care) and patients needing daily urinary health monitoring to prevent rUTIs and coordinate preventive care

I am a health-tech entrepreneur with a special interest in all things urine and diagnostic. My background in medicine and medical device design gives me a unique point of view while identifying major gaps in healthcare through regular patient interaction.
My experience within both the hospital and industry setting has developed my interest in emphasising the user-centered and human factors design of medical technologies to ensure accessibility and usability in all areas around the world. My skills are broadly in problem definition, upstream product development, and implementation of medical technologies (device and digital health) in the clinical setting. I am focused on ensuring Starling prioritises the user experience throughout our growth.
