Imagine the urge to have bowel movement but not having time to reach a toilet. This is probably the most severe IBD symptom.
Patients with ulcerative colitis suffer from Bowel Urgency. They have to go through this suffering every day. Up to ten times a day.
The fear of an embarrassing situation limits their ability to move and work.
„5 minutes to reach a toilet“ – give patients back quality of life.
Future Use Case 2
A young lady who is worried
Eva (27) thinks about her long-planned vacation in France next month.
Instead of being excited she is worried.
But maybe this time it can be different
Two months ago Eva started wearing a silicone patch on her skin recommended by her gastroenterologist Dr. Miller.
The sensor measures certain bowel conditions and helps Dr. Miller to adjust medication ahead of time.
Eva checks her flare-up risk prediction every day.
Over the last two days her flare-up risk went up from 30% to 40%.
Eva asks Dr. Miller what she should do about her trip.
Based on the sensor data Dr. Miller makes his treatment decision.
He prescribes Eva an anti-inflammatory drug for one week.
Vacation saved!
Proposed Solution
Science, technology and data could help
Our gut is connected to the brain and has a multitude of sensors.
However, our brain cannot extract in-depth meaning from this raw sensory data. It triggers immediate actions but remains primarily at the acquisition level.
There is no structured system for pattern recognition and preventive measure
.
It’s simple: a goodgut sensor
• detects bowel events, temperature, movements
• embedded AI enables real-time offline use
• AI-based deep dive analysis
• companion app on smartphone for sensor and cloud storage communication
