Auggi, a gut-health startup that's building an app for people to track gastrointestinal issues, and Seed Health, which works on applying microbes to human health and sells probiotics, are soliciting poop photos from anyone who wants to send them
No, really. Two companies — Auggi, a gut-health startup that's building an app for people to track gastrointestinal issues, and Seed Health, which works on applying microbes to human health and sells probiotics — are soliciting poop photos from anyone who wants to send them. The companies began collecting the photos online on Monday via a campaign cheekily called"Give a S--t" with the goal of creating the first known data set of human poop images.
The call for images and goal of producing AI to classify human waste sounds unique and potentially useful to Jack Gilbert, a professor of pediatrics at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and cofounder of the American Gut Project, a science project that solicits fecal samples from people.
