VIOVOC™ offers a bathroom-mounted ambient air sensor and Virtual Fiber Coach that analyze gut microbiome signals to guide personalized soluble fiber intake for weight management. The system calculates a V-Factor score and V-Zone target range, helping users stimulate their own GLP-1 production. It is designed for wellness purposes only and complements GLP-1 medication or lifestyle changes.

Problem
Traditional weight management advice focuses on calorie restriction and low-fat diets, yet many people still struggle to lose weight despite following these guidelines. Standard recommendations overlook the critical role of soluble fiber in stimulating the body's own GLP-1 production, and most people have no way to know their personal fiber requirements.
Solution
VIOVOC™ provides a first-of-its-kind ambient air bathroom sensor that analyzes gut microbiome signals from the air users release to calculate a V-Factor score—a personalized indicator of whether they are consuming the right amount of soluble fiber. The sensor pairs with the VIOVOC™ Virtual Fiber Coach, which guides users on choosing V-Foods, fiber-rich foods that nourish the gut microbiome and stimulate natural GLP-1 production to support weight loss. Users receive real-time feedback on their V-Factor score relative to their personalized V-Zone, a Goldilocks range tailored to their unique biology. The system automates the process of monitoring fiber intake, eliminating the guesswork from dietary adjustments.
Target Audience
Primary users are adults managing their weight, particularly those using GLP-1 medications or seeking natural alternatives to support weight loss through microbiome health.
