The latest from Seed: our new AI 🤖
Today we announced our acquisition of auggihealth, a digital health company with a suite of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies that track and analyze digestive health¹—this includes an AI algorithm for real-time Bristol stool typing and a mobile monitoring application for clinical research.
Auggi’s deep learning algorithms utilize computer vision and deep convolutional neural networks to objectively quantify and characterize an individual’s stool (💩) with 94.07% accuracy (measured in the ability to predict the right Bristol class within one Bristol level) as compared to 75% accuracy¹ from self-assessment.² 🤯
And thanks to many of you and our 2019 Community Science initiative,
#GiveAShit, the AI was trained by the largest bank of stool imagery assembled to date in collaboration with gastroenterologists at Massachusetts General Hospital.
So what are we going to do with it?
The clinical trial monitoring app is currently...
