PEED (Stezio Origin)
Engineering Lead · 2021
Smart medical device streaming ear conditions, lung/heart sounds, and body temperature over the internet to doctors. Built with QT, C++, Linux, OpenCV, and REST API. Partnered with AlinaMed and Parahita Clinic. Evolved into the Stezio wireless stethoscope product.
Problem & Approach
Access to remote healthcare is often limited, especially for patients needing real-time monitoring of their vital signs. Many existing solutions lack integration, making remote diagnosis difficult. To address this, we co-founded PEED, a smart medical device that streams real-time data — ear conditions, lung and heart sounds, body temperature, and more — directly to doctors over the internet.
Solutions & Impact
Partnering with AlinaMed and Parahita Clinic, we developed PEED to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare professionals. However, building this platform was not easy — advanced hardware manufacturing posed significant challenges. Through iteration and feedback, we realized that many doctors and medical students primarily needed a wireless stethoscope for remote diagnostics. This led to the creation of Stezio, a spin-off product that we are now selling in Indonesia.
Learning & Reflection
This journey taught me that building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) first is crucial. Instead of tackling everything at once, focusing on the core need helped us refine the product and find real market demand. Developing medical hardware is complex, but with persistence, partnerships, and continuous learning, innovation in healthcare is achievable.
