About Us:

Dieta uses AI to personalize digestive healthcare for the 11% of the global population that suffers from digestive disorders. Our mobile application captures high-resolution data on their diet, bowel movements, medications, and other factors, and generates precise treatment recommendations. We’re the first company to build proprietary stool 💩 image recognition technology that makes the measurement of digestive outcomes (poop) objective instead of subjective. We’ve recently validated our technology in a human clinical trial and signed our first 3 institutional customers.
