Flushing Out the Truth: Faex Uses AI to Spot Hidden Digestive Issues

Trending...
Faex Health turns an overlooked daily habit—using the toilet—into preventive healthcare, using AI to analyze stool images and detect digestive issues early.

BOULDER, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- From Daily Routine to Daily Insight

Gut health plays a central role in overall wellness, yet it's often ignored until symptoms become severe. Subtle changes in stool appearance can reveal early indicators of conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, infections like C. difficile, and nutrient absorption issues.

Faex Health's technology enables individuals to take a quick, private photo of their stool. Advanced computer vision algorithms then evaluate shape, color, and texture, generating real-time insights that can help catch issues early and guide lifestyle or clinical intervention.

"Your toilet has been quietly recording your health story for years," said Landon Nattrass, CEO of Faex Health. "Our mission is to decode that story with AI, giving people and their doctors the chance to address problems before they spiral into costly and life-threatening conditions."
