Coprata

Coprata is a health technology company founded in 2020 by Duke University engineering professors that specializes in gut health monitoring. The company develops science-backed solutions, including a Microbiome Activity Tracker (MAT) at-home stool test for measuring fecal pH and an innovative smart toilet technology designed for automated, non-invasive biomarker tracking. By leveraging advanced analytical measurements and user-centered design, the company aims to make gut health monitoring as accessible as tracking sleep or daily steps, moving beyond traditional laboratory procedures that require shipping samples and waiting for results.

These technologies are designed to provide individuals and researchers with actionable, real-time insights into digestive health. By offering convenient tools for longitudinal data collection and biomarker monitoring, Coprata seeks to empower users to make evidence-based decisions, manage chronic gastrointestinal conditions, and proactively monitor their wellness. The company’s solutions have been applied in medical research and clinical contexts, focusing on the early detection of digestive health issues and the continuous monitoring of physiological markers to improve overall health outcomes.
