Gutsy - the personal gut health advisor (concept)

Gutsy - The personal gut health advisor

Is a raw unfinished prototype I did to come up with a health assistant that can help people suffering from gut disorders. The idea came from personal digestive issues and led to an investigation of a user group of danish biohackers; a community of health pioneers working to improve their own healthiness with new innovations.
Survey and interviews

To understand the issues people are facing a put together a pre-screening survey that was followed up by three personal interviews. The biggest issue by far was to determine a solution for the informants' digestive problems as finding the exact cause is very difficult.
(results in example are in Danish sry)  

Following up on my collected data I realized that gut healthcare is still in its' early days and very complicated. I wanted to make a technical assistant to help people make the right lifestyle choices based on their unique microbiome. To make real personalized health advice users need to get their gut bacteria mapped out and analyzed regularly, which is still both very expensive and inaccurate.

Therefore the prototype presupposes the idea, that people are already having access to this kind of data.
