Our record so far
-
May 2024
Founded at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Faex began after co-founders Landon Nattrass and Ryan Ninness asked a simple question: why do we monitor almost every aspect of our health, but ignore one of the body's most informative daily signals?
-
Sep. 2024
Built the first generation hardware prototype.
The team initially pursued an automated stool imaging device. After numerous hardware iterations, reliability, manufacturing complexity, and cost made the approach impractical at scale. Rather than forcing the technology, the team pivoted toward smartphone-based computer vision.
-
Oct. 2024
AI platform and global research expansion.
Faex shifted entirely to AI-powered stool analysis using smartphones, rapidly growing its image dataset while working with researchers and clinicians across multiple countries, including projects throughout Africa focused on infectious disease surveillance.
-
Nov. 2025
First successful colorectal cancer pre-cancerous polyps detection.
The platform demonstrated its ability to identify stool characteristics associated with colorectal cancer via pre-cancerous polyps, validating the broader vision that stool images could become an early-warning signal for infectious disease outbreaks and chronic gastrointestinal conditions alike.
-
2026
Clinical validation and healthcare deployment.
Government-supported clinical studies launched in Chile alongside employer health pilots, expanding Faex toward provider workflows, population health, and national healthcare systems.
