The science behind Throne
Grounded in science.
Designed for real life.
The signals Throne tracks, the science behind them, and why they matter for your health.
Functional gut health
The functional GI metrics your doctor cares about.
Great gut health means regular, healthy poops. The Bristol Stool Scale and stool frequency have been clinical standards for nearly 30 years—but recall gets less reliable as time passes.
Throne's approach
Throne classifies every stool on the Bristol Stool Scale and captures frequency automatically. Away sessions can be added manually to keep the pattern complete.
What you can learn
See how food, travel, stress, and routine affect your personal baseline—then notice meaningful changes earlier.
Type 2
Lumpy & Sausage-shaped
Firm and segmented
Type 3
Sausage with Cracks
Smooth log with surface cracks
Type 4 Ideal
Smooth & Soft
Like a snake—the ideal
Type 5
Soft Blobs
Clear edges, passed easily
Type 6
Mushy & Ragged
Fluffy pieces, no structure
Type 7
Entirely Liquid
No solid form
Ask the expert
Why do stool form and frequency actually matter?
Stool form and consistency are among the most validated signals in digestive-health science. See why they matter.
Hydration
See dehydration before you feel it.
Doctors measure urine concentration because it reflects how hydrated your body actually is. Dehydration can appear in urine before thirst catches up.
Throne's approach
Throne estimates clinical osmolality using optical urine-color analysis. Each bathroom visit becomes another hydration reading—without strips or a lab.
What you can learn
See how hydration moves through the day, where your routine falls short, and whether small changes are improving the trend.
Bathroom habits
Bathroom habits that matter.
How long you sit matters. Session timing and time to evacuation make urgency, constipation patterns, and prolonged sitting visible.
Throne's approach
Throne captures session start, evacuation events, active time, wrap-up, and completion automatically—and can send a gentle reminder when a visit runs long.
What you can learn
Understand a routine most people never measure and spot changes in behavior while they are still within your control.
Prostate health
Your prostate-health baseline.
Flow rate is a foundational measurement in prostate health, but many men do not receive a baseline until symptoms have already appeared.
Throne's approach
Using acoustic analysis of standing sessions, Throne reconstructs a flow pattern at every visit—turning something you can hear into a trend you can follow.
What you can learn
Watch how urinary flow changes over time and bring clearer longitudinal context into a conversation with your doctor.
Ask the expert
What does urinary flow actually tell you?
A plain-language explanation of what clinicians learn from urinary flow—and why a personal baseline is useful.

We track our steps, our sleep, our heart rate but one of the biggest predictors of long-term health has been ignored… until now. Throne fixes that gap.
