Why we built Stethora.

The team

• 

  Mahdiul Chowdhury

  Mahdiul is an engineer with a strong foundation in robotics and embedded software. His career has centered on unmanned robotics, where he worked on advanced, mission-critical systems, and on founding and building an early-stage startup, where he led product development and technical strategy from the ground up. Mahdiul combines deep technical expertise with a focus on innovation, reliability, and scalability, a foundation he now brings to Stethora, where he leads efforts to apply cutting-edge AI to real-world data challenges in healthcare.

  Kevin Lee, MD

  CMO

  Dr. Kevin Lee attended the University of Michigan Medical school and trained at Dartmouth, Wayne State and the University of Toronto. Dr. Lee has practiced as a board-certified neurosurgeon for over twenty years specializing in minimally invasive pain management techniques and functional neurosurgery.

  He and his wife, an anesthesiologist, spent their careers monitoring vital signs and securing powerful medications in the operating room, and they asked why that level of care stopped at the hospital door.

  For two decades they built prototypes with boxes, sensors, and communication devices. Along the way they partnered with Dave Riemer, who has manufactured medication boxes for over 20 years through Riemer Systems. Robotics engineer Mahdiul Chowdhury and engineer and business consultant Lydia Lee, Dr. Lee's daughter, complete the team.

  With two patents and several prototypes behind us, Stethora's mission is simple: a safe, secure place in the home for convenient, affordable, and comprehensive healthcare.
