Hara offers a toilet‑mounted sensor that analyzes stool biomarkers to generate a real‑time Fuel Utilisation score, indicating how efficiently an athlete absorbs macronutrients and detects gut inflammation. The data syncs with major wearables, providing alerts and baseline tracking so athletes and coaches can adjust nutrition and training promptly.

Problem
Athletes lack objective data on how their gastrointestinal system processes and tolerates macronutrients during training, making it difficult to adjust nutrition strategies and detect issues such as inflammation or malabsorption that can impair performance.
Solution
Hara provides a toilet‑mounted digestive performance tracker that quantifies gut absorption and tolerance of fuel in real time. The device measures biomarkers from stool to generate a Fuel Utilisation score and establishes a baseline of each user’s normal gut patterns. When deviations occur—such as reduced carbohydrate absorption or inflammation spikes—the system alerts the athlete, enabling timely nutritional adjustments. Collected data sync automatically with popular wearables (e.g., Oura, Apple Watch, Garmin, WHOOP) to integrate digestive metrics into broader performance dashboards. By treating gut health as a trainable metric similar to heart rate, Hara helps athletes optimise fuel efficiency and overall training outcomes.
Target Audience
Hara is aimed at endurance and high‑performance athletes, coaches, and sports nutrition professionals who need precise, actionable insights into gastrointestinal fuel utilization during training.
