Otolo / 06 Founder
Bioengineer, product builder, and founder and CEO of Otolo.
Stephen Robinson, PhD
Founder and CEO
Stephen's doctoral research at Georgia Tech studied disease states in wound healing. As a medical device product manager, hardware builder and technical consultant, he has worked on both sides of body data: the sensor that produces a reading and the people who need to trust it.
He built Otolo through more than a year of pivots, prototype iterations and hundreds of customer interviews. He is also a triathlete, climber and skier who wants to see his own measurements, not just a score. Otolo is the tool he wanted at every step: raw readings he can inspect, in files he owns, with the AI he chooses.
Otolo earns trust by explaining how things work, not by asking for it.
Start from what the device actually measures, and say what it cannot.
Publish accuracy data, methods and firmware versions. Show uncertainty as part of the rigor.
Open source, open formats, documented drivers. The user builds; we equip.
Make background capture reliable on iOS and Android, build the driver library, and shape the open-source core.
R&D teams that test products on people, AI enablement leads running training programs, and researchers who need multi-device data.
