Throne for Crohn’s & colitis

Throne clips onto your toilet and records every bowel movement for you: how often, what form, and what time. Between GI appointments, you’ll have a real record instead of a guess.

Your GI sees you every few months. Your gut changes every day.

You’ve counted trips on a notepad, in your notes app, maybe on a click counter, until you stopped.

So when your GI asks how you’ve been, what do you say?

Flares creep in. Weeks blur together. It’s hard to know whether this week is a flare, a stomach bug or just a bad week without a record of what your normal looks like.

Your days, in order

See your days, not just your scopes.

Throne records every visit on its own. Mark a change in your Journal, like a new medication, a steroid taper or a hospital stay, and compare the weeks before and after with numbers instead of memory.

  1. Weeks 1–4

    Know your normal.

    In remission, this person averages about 2 BMs a day, and 80% are in the healthy range. That’s their baseline.

  2. Weeks 5–8

    See the change early.

    Visits climb past 5 a day, and liquid stools go from almost none to 38%. They bring the trend to their GI instead of a guess.

  3. Weeks 9–12

    Watch the weeks after.

    After a medication change, the count drifts back toward 2 a day. By the last week, 79% of stools are back in the healthy range.

Throne doesn’t diagnose flares or tell you whether a treatment is working. Share what you see with your GI, and don’t change your treatment without talking to them.

Yes, it looks into your toilet. Here’s exactly what it sees.

Throne’s camera points straight down into the bowl. It sees what’s in the bowl and nothing else.

Your health information stays yours. Throne will never share your health information without your permission. You can export your data and request deletion at any time.

You already manage enough. This isn’t one more thing.

What it tracks

The numbers your GI asks about, recorded every time.

Every visit is placed on the Bristol Stool Scale, the same 1–7 chart your GI uses. Throne also counts how often you go and when, including overnight, and gives you a daily hydration score from urine concentration, which helps on high-output days. Throne’s AI is trained by practicing physicians.

Seven forms. One consistent scale.

Tap a type

Type 4

Smooth and soft

Stool-form categories describe appearance. They are not a diagnosis.

What Throne records

Form, frequency, timing and hydration, for every visit, with no logging.

What it doesn’t do

Throne doesn’t measure inflammation or detect blood, and it doesn’t replace calprotectin, bloodwork or a scope. Add what you notice, like blood, mucus or urgency, to your Journal so it’s part of your record.

Stop answering “how have you been?” with “okay, I guess.”

Download a 90-day PDF summary or a CSV and bring it to your GI, or send it through your patient portal. It’s the history they ask for, with dates: how often, what form, overnight visits, and weeks of trends instead of the one bad day you remember.

A note from our co-founder

Built by the IBD community, for the IBD community.

I was diagnosed with severe pancolitis in 2016. Since then I’ve had multiple hospitalizations, dramatic weight and blood loss, a carousel of medications, and a fecal transplant for a recurrent C. diff infection. I’ve sat across from some of the best gastroenterologists in the country. I’ve also sat in a bathroom at 3 a.m. trying to decide whether what I was seeing meant I should call my doctor in the morning or drive to the ER right now.

When I’m in a flare, my GI sees a 20-minute slice of me every few weeks. The lab sees a snapshot. The colonoscopy sees a single morning. Everything else lives only in my head, and it fades fast.

I spent ten years as co-founder and CTO of WHOOP. The lesson was simple: when you measure something passively, so you collect the data without thinking about it, you change what’s possible. Throne does that for the bathroom. It gives you a continuous, objective record of your gut without the work of journaling every visit.

Throne isn’t a medical device, and it doesn’t replace your care team. It’s our attempt to close the gap between what your body knows and what you and your doctor can see.

What Throne is, what it isn’t, and when to call your doctor.

  • What it is.

    A sensor that records the form, frequency and timing of every visit, and shows changes from your own baseline.

  • What it isn’t.

    A medical device. It doesn’t diagnose Crohn’s, UC or a flare, measure inflammation, or tell you whether to change treatment.

  • When to call your doctor.

    Heavy bleeding, fever, severe or worsening pain, signs of dehydration, or anything that feels different. Don’t wait for a trend.

Everything you need to know your normal.

Questions people with IBD ask us

All FAQs
Does it take pictures of me?

No. Throne’s camera points directly into the bowl and sees nothing else. Your data is encrypted, and Throne will never share your health information without your permission.

Will it keep up during a flare, when I’m going 15 or 20 times a day?

Throne records every session automatically. There’s nothing to log, however often you go.

Does it detect blood?

No. Throne doesn’t flag blood. If you notice blood or mucus, add it to your Journal so it’s in your record and your GI report, and call your doctor if you’re bleeding heavily.

Can I share my data with my GI?

Yes. Download a 90-day PDF summary or a CSV from the app and bring it to your appointment or send it through your patient portal.

Will Throne tell me if I’m having a flare?

No. Throne shows how your patterns compare with your own baseline. Deciding what a change means is for you and your GI.

How do I keep it clean?

Use the same cleaning supplies you use on the rest of your bathroom. Throne is built for the bathroom, so regular household cleaners are fine.

What does membership include?

Unlimited tracking across multiple Throne devices, your Journal, and Gut Health Coach for $6/month per member. The first two members to pair with a device each get their first 3 months free. An active membership is required to use the Throne app.

Can I pay with HSA or FSA?

Yes. Pay with eligible HSA/FSA funds through Truemed at checkout and save up to 30%.

What if it doesn’t help?

Every Throne comes with a 30-day home trial. If it isn’t telling you anything useful, send it back.
