A poopy library?
Surprisingly - it was difficult at first to find stool pictures. If you try to google it…

What gets measured gets managed.
We make methods in quantifying ourselves to manage ourselves.
We choose to build a new way of viewing life by peering through the backend.
We look to classify daily stool rituals to drop an insight on our GI health.
We use statistics and computer-vision to do our dirty work.
We aim to improve the Bristol Stool Scale.
We will deploy image characterization and classification for Empoower to better improve how we manage our GI health. In the meantime, text "Hi" to our bot at (317) 943-0280 for friendly stool discussions and look through our science to see the progress.
Interested in friendly stool discussions? We use recurrent neural networks to create a friendly bot chat to talk about stool. Give Empoower a try and text "hi" to (317) 943-0280!
We take images of poop and apply image processing techniques to gain better quantitative insights in how we should evaluate our GI health. Principally - we use Bristol Stool Scale as a classification reference but we also aim to improve upon this old-age system for better predictive power on how our stool explains our health and diets.
We aim to construct a mobile app for users to take a snapshot of their creations for their own analyses. We hope to incoprate easy and accurate characterizations of your stool via image processing techniques to gain temporal insights on your GI health.

I am from Indiana, went to college in Indiana, and now am away from Indiana living in the north east working in biotech focusing on tech dev combining functional genomics and imaging.
Classically trained as a biological engineer at Purdue University and got to work on projects pertaining to microbiomes - and creating new methods to identify mucus heterogeneity. I get excited about making tools to characterize new things. It's a creative endeavor!
In my free time, I am attempting to create an onion farm in my apartment. I am also trying to build a tool for the world to inspect their poop. It is an ambitious dream of mine to get everyone to stare at their creations for one minute a day - for health purposes. Obviously.
