The company has created contactless sensors that clip onto a toilet bowl and can collect information on metabolism, hydration, digestion, kidney function and more. The products work invisibly in the background without wearables, consumables or user effort and offer both wellness and clinical applications.

Matsui’s company was founded in Ukraine and has offices in both Kyiv and Ithaca. In the podcast, Matsui talks about his entrepreneurial journey, the impact of this product and the challenges of working in a country at war.

The Startup Cornell podcast features interviews with Cornell entrepreneurs, who tell their stories of successes and failures and offer actionable advice for building and growing a business. It’s available on the Entrepreneurship at Cornell website, as well as Apple podcasts, Spotify and Soundcloud.
