Building a Virtual Medicine Cabinet with Arna Ionescu Stoll Ep. 10

The Wealthing Podcast

In this episode of the Wealthing Podcast, host Alicia Castillo Holley welcomes Arna Ionescu Stoll, the CEO of Wavely Diagnostics. With a background rooted in human-centered design from IDEO and a passion for healthcare innovation, Arna shares her journey from consultant to startup leader. Her career has been shaped by a desire to not just design meaningful products but to see them through to real-world impact—especially in the realm of pediatric care.

Arna discusses how WavelyDx, born out of groundbreaking research from the University of Washington and Seattle Children's Research Institute, is transforming the way families diagnose ear infections. Instead of schlepping kids to the doctor for what may or may not be an ear infection, WavelyDx offers a simple, app-based solution that allows parents to check their child's ears at home using a smartphone and a low-cost paper funnel. This innovation not only brings peace of mind to parents but also reduces unnecessary medical visits and their associated costs and environmental impact.

Now available on Amazon for just $9.99, with a $5.99/month subscription for the app, WavelyDx empowers parents to take control of their children’s healthcare from the comfort of their home: Buy WavelyDx on Amazon.

Arna also shares her vision for expanding Wavely into a full “virtual medicine cabinet” of AI diagnostics, offering accessible, reliable tools for families to monitor and manage a range of health issues at home. Her story highlights not just innovation, but also leadership, motherhood, and the powerful intersections between personal experience and professional mission.
