Certified Problem Solver

Dieta Health is a verified, high-utility digital health project that was acquired by Cylinder Health in March 2025 (post-dating the submission's launch year). The project utilizes proprietary AI for stool image recognition, validated in peer-reviewed clinical trials at Cedars-Sinai. While the submission form contained low-quality, sarcastic responses (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'), external due diligence confirms strong B2B traction, institutional backing (Techstars, UnitedHealthcare), and a successful exit. The score reflects the high real-world utility and technical innovation, balanced against the poor quality of the submission data.

Description
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. We’re backed by Techstars, UnitedHealthcare (the world’s largest healthcare payer), and Cedars-Sinai (the top medical center for gastroenterology) and are growing our team to improve digestive health for all.
