The Story
Matthew searched for answers to his own health issues and wondered why early detection still relied on invasive, expensive, and often inaccessible tools. That question led to the discovery of VOCs in urine: chemical signals that may reveal early signs of disease. TOBY was founded to turn those signals into simple, noninvasive, AI-powered tests, inspired by Sherlock Holmes’s scent-tracking bloodhound.
