American startup Throne has created a camera that is placed in the toilet and takes pictures of your poop. This camera, which is currently in beta, can use artificial intelligence to check things like gut health through your stool and how much water you consume through your urine.
According to TechCrunch, the startup Throne calls its technology “artificial gut intelligence” and claims to have trained it with the help of doctors to help you understand what your poop is showing about your health. This system can also detect the level of water in your body by analyzing the state of urine.
This startup emphasizes that the images recorded by the camera are anonymous. “We only capture images of the contents of your toilet bowl,” says Throne. Any other data is not relevant to our mission and could compromise our ability to provide accurate health information. We use image recognition technology to automatically remove any irrelevant images. By doing this, we make sure that only the data related to the toilet is preserved.”
Users can access their full data and see what information Throne has collected. This startup can delete all personal data at the user’s request. This information is also encrypted.
“We don’t have access to individual data,” Throne explains. Our team only analyzes anonymized and aggregated data; It is not possible to trace the main user of this data.”
After a limited beta period, Throne Camera is now available for pre-order. The price of this camera is 499 dollars, but for those who order this product early, a discount of 200 dollars is considered. This startup started its work as a market policy for health services, but soon realized that this market was saturated; Finally, they changed the direction of their business.
