IoT Beacon for Gut Health Monitoring

Category: Digital Health | Gastroenterology | AI Signal Processing

Status: Concept → Functional Prototype

Project Impact

Introduces objective gut health monitoring without invasive tests, enabling early detection of gastrointestinal disorders.

Gut Health IoT Beacon

The Challenge

Gut health disorders are often under-diagnosed because monitoring relies heavily on self-reported symptoms, which may be inaccurate, inconsistent, or delayed.

369 Innovations Solution

We developed a non-contact IoT beacon system capable of monitoring frequency, duration, and acoustic signatures of urination and bowel movements, enabling passive mapping of gut health trends.

Engineering & Innovation

  • Acoustic and vibration sensors tuned for bio-acoustic signatures
  • Edge-AI algorithms to classify stool and urine events
  • Pattern mapping for irregularity and anomaly detection
  • Privacy-preserving architecture with feature extraction only

Clinical Intelligence Generated

  • Early detection of IBS, constipation, dehydration, and infections
  • Longitudinal gut health scoring
  • Population-level analytics for preventive care programs

Scalability

  • Low-cost sensor beacon design
  • Cloud-based analytics platform
  • Applicable in homes, hospitals, elderly care, and wellness programs

Impact

Introduces objective gut health monitoring without invasive tests.
