Our Services

I think StarFish is a perfect combination of discipline for quality control and all the regulatory requirements that are there for good reason, but at the same time, porous enough that it’s not siloed departments. If there’s a really good person that’s had experience in an aspect of your project, they might be called in. They might show up at your meeting because they’ve heard about it, they have a keen interest, and can lend an idea that may ultimately be a definitive moment in the development of the product.

When we’re sitting in a room it feels like one team working on one project. We’re all equally invested emotionally in what we’re trying to accomplish. And we certainly believe that what we’ve been working on has the potential to have very significant impact on mental health.

Encouraging a company to go down a development path that is realistic from a design, regulatory, and indication for use perspective is really important. StarFish Medical identified major risks in developing the medical device and made sure we tackled those first. They understand small details which go into developing a medical device that a first time research team wouldn’t consider.

Working with StarFish provided us access to lots of talented engineers—electrical, biomedical, mechanical, and software—and structured project management. Our microbiome sampling project and prototype had been going on for 4 years. We handed the project to StarFish and have made great progress since.

They took a very methodical approach based on determining indication for use that helped us identify new peripherals, add functionality and enable manufacturability.

StarFish Medical played a critical role in our ability to produce an alpha-prototype for validation. In an incredibly short time, and very cost effectively, StarFish engineers help us develop an instrument that completely changed the way our company is perceived… We will certainly work with Starfish again.
