Throne Science provides a smart, toilet-mounted sensor that automatically tracks daily bathroom habits for health monitoring. The system delivers personalized scores and insights regarding gut health, hydration, and urinary function directly to a user's app. This hands-free approach allows users to understand physiological patterns without altering their existing routines.

Problem
A significant portion of the population experiences recurring digestive discomfort, but existing diagnostic tools are invasive, episodic, and disconnected from daily habits, making it difficult to identify lifestyle triggers or early signs of gut dysfunction.
Solution
Throne Science offers a plug‑and‑play sensor module that mounts beneath a standard toilet bowl to continuously capture optical and acoustic biosignals during each flush. The device streams raw data via Bluetooth to a companion mobile app where proprietary AI algorithms translate stool consistency, bowel movement frequency, and urinary output into personalized health metrics. Users receive trend visualizations, hydration scores, and actionable recommendations that link daily food, fluid, and activity choices to gut performance. All data are encrypted end‑to‑end and stored in a HIPAA‑aligned cloud, ensuring privacy while enabling longitudinal analysis. Multi‑user profiles allow households to track up to six individuals, and the system operates autonomously without requiring guest interaction.
Target Audience
The primary users are health‑conscious adults and individuals managing chronic gastrointestinal conditions (e.g., IBS, functional constipation) who seek continuous, data‑driven insights into their gut and urinary health.
Features
- Downward‑facing optical and acoustic sensor array that non‑invasively measures stool texture, volume, and urinary flow in real time
- Edge‑optimized AI pipeline that classifies Bristol stool types, hydration indices, and digestive regularity with clinically validated accuracy
- Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity to a native iOS/Android app delivering daily dashboards, anomaly alerts, and trend analytics
- Multi‑profile support for up to six household members, with on‑device button fallback for phone‑less sessions
- Compatibility with standard white toilets (rim ≤ 2.5 in) and major bidet brands (Tushy, Toto, Brondell)
- Secure, end‑to‑end encrypted data transmission and storage, with strict no‑sale data policy and anonymized model training
- API hooks for integration with third‑party health platforms (e.g., Apple Health, Google Fit) and optional clinician portal access
- Firmware‑over‑the‑air updates to continuously improve sensor calibration and AI models without user intervention
