Starling is a medical equipment manufacturer based in Houston, Texas, focused on developing an at-home urology remote patient monitoring platform that integrates into daily bathroom routines. By tracking changes in urine over time, the company aims to extend remote monitoring benefits into chronic conditions such as recurrent urinary tract infections, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and chronic kidney disease, with the goal of reducing hospitalizations. The platform targets individuals managing ongoing urinary or kidney-related health issues, seeking a non-intrusive way to monitor urinary changes outside a clinical setting. Starling operates within the medical device sector, pursuing a patient-centered approach that situates its solution as an at-home monitoring tool for long-term urinary health management. The company, established under the name Starling (YC W22), is located in the Houston area and has a modest-sized team, reflecting its early-stage position within the healthcare technology landscape. A notable development includes receiving the Michael E. DeBakey Memorial Life Science Award in 2020, recognizing its contribution to life sciences and its Houston-area roots.
