01The app
Six things, reachable in seconds.
Emergencies
Haematuria, retention, torsion, priapism, penile fracture, paraphimosis, catheter trouble.
Drugs
Doses, antibiotic protocols, renal adjustment, interaction flags.
Calculators
IDENTIFY, MIMIC, TWIST, eGFR, CPG, prostate volume.
Clinic
Presentation frameworks, investigation pathways, referral guidance.
BAUS Leaflets
31 leaflets, handed over by QR code at the bedside.
A reference aid for clinicians in training. It does not replace local guidelines, senior review or your own judgement.
02The work
One clinical problem. One focused tool. Repeated.
Six of them so far. Each one started as something that took too long.

02MRI and spatial anatomyLive teaching prototype
From MRI to 3D understanding.
A public-research-data teaching prototype that connects MRI slices, sector anatomy, mental rotation and browser-based 3D exploration.

See every calyx. Plan every step.
A de-identified, CT-derived teaching prototype for talking through collecting-system orientation, with a simulated scope route and calyceal search.

Learn the operation, not just the steps.
A browser-based operative and complications atlas using stylised 3D scenes, danger zones and active recall, built for rehearsal before a viva or a supervised procedure.

Schematic anatomy for teaching only. Review status varies by item and remains visible in the project.

Recognise the view. Rehearse the scope.
Browser-based exercises for spatial bladder and cystoscopy practice, using schematic teaching meshes rather than patient imaging.

Ariadne
A thread through the pathway.
A retrieval-augmented assistant built into UroRef. Each query is routed through a Cloudflare Worker and combined with curated UroRef guidance, recent chat context and the selected hospital profile when available. Common requests are handled directly by the service; others use Google Gemini to return source-linked educational navigation, with pseudonymous rate limiting and explicit safety boundaries.

Do not enter patient-identifiable information. Ariadne is optional, online, and off unless you turn it on.

Sensate Outcomes
Recovery, gently tracked.
Structured patient-reported outcomes for consultant follow-up after feminising genital gender-affirming surgery. Patients complete calm, skippable check-ins on their own device against a non-identifying reference code, from a pre-operative baseline to 24 months; the clinician sees explainable flags, change over time and a summary that is never a diagnosis. No names, NHS numbers or dates of birth are collected.

Ureteric stent trackingIn service
MCHT Stent Database
No stent forgotten.
A register built in-house that closes the loop on ureteric stent tracking at Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Insertions are logged at the point of care, every stent is held against its intended exchange date, automated alerts flag what is coming due, and completed exchanges are archived with an audit trail. In service since April 2026.

Service evaluation dataSynthetic demo
EchoLaser Service Evaluation
One coded case, start to finish.
A data-collection tool for the EchoLaser service evaluation at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. A separate coding step issues a random study code, so the clinical app never holds a name or NHS number. Each coded case then runs through baseline, procedure and recovery, follow-up and safety events, with dropdowns for fixed choices, BMI worked out from height and weight, and the 0 to 10 pain card entered on a slider.

Bladder Scheduling MeetingIn development
Bladder Cancer Waiting List Card
Filled in at the scope, ready for the meeting.
A structured card completed straight after flexible cystoscopy, while the findings are fresh: lesion count and size, key findings, frailty, day-case suitability and a numbered bladder map for tumour site. Cards land in one shared list that becomes the worklist for the weekly Bladder Scheduling Meeting, where priority, consultant and theatre list are set, and the cancer trackers follow the same list through to TURBT. The dataset follows the June 2026 GIRFT guide to suspected bladder cancer.

Patient-reported outcomesPrototype
Urethral Stricture PROM
The follow-up questionnaire, without the paper.
Electronic PROMs for follow-up after urethral stricture treatment, including Optilume. Patients scan one QR code, type a single-use code and answer on their own phone: a two-minute IPSS, quality-of-life and stream-picture check at 3 and 6 months, and the full questionnaire with USS-PROM, EQ-5D-3L and SHIM before treatment and at 12 months. Answers are checked and scored automatically, then set side by side on a clinician dashboard with amber flags and a summary line to copy into the clinic letter.

03Who built it
Clinician by training,
builder by instinct.
I built the thing I wanted in my pocket, then kept building.
Clinics, lists, nights, on-calls, and the hundreds of small decisions that sit between them. The tools came out of the gaps.
