Artificial Intelligence Can Now Accurately Describe Your Poop

Pimentel, who told Motherboard he had no financial stake in the app, said artificial intelligence takes the guesswork out of the diagnostic process, which generally relies on potentially inaccurate patient self-reporting. The study found that subjects appeared reluctant to use the full BSS, tending to gravitate toward the diarrhea (low) end of the scale. Investigators compared patients' self-reported scores and AI-generated scores with "gold standards" generated by two expert gastroenterologists. Scores calculated by AI aligned more closely with the expert scores, compared with patients' self-reported scores.
