PRE-SEED | LUMINAX 2026
Your Phone Listens to Your Gut

Bloating. Cramps. Brain fog.
A gut that won't cooperate.

What if your phone could tell you why — and help you fix it?

NeuroGut AI turns your phone into a gut-brain biofeedback device. Three minutes. Five signals. No extra hardware. See what's happening, spot what tipped it, and try something that actually works.

Would you pay $10 a month for that?

Wellness Tool: NeuroGut AI provides awareness and insights—it does not diagnose, treat, or replace medical care.
THE PROBLEM /

In 2016, Rome IV reclassified IBS as a Disorder of Gut-Brain Interaction.

The science caught up — but there's still no tool to measure it. Between appointments, millions of people are flying blind.

NeuroGut uses proprietary ML to extract gut-brain biomarkers from bowel sounds — turning what doctors hear with a stethoscope into real-time, personalised intelligence.

Heart rate. Breathing. Gut motility. Vagal tone. Stress coherence. Five signals, read together, from a single 3-minute recording on your phone. No wearables. No clinic visit. Just data you can act on — today.

You cancel plans because you don't trust your gut today.

You avoid restaurants, travel, and new foods — just in case.

You blame last night's dinner when it might have been yesterday's stress.

Your doctor says "reduce stress" — but nobody can measure whether you're actually doing it.

You've tried diets, supplements, apps, probiotics — spending thousands. Nothing tells you what's working.

Nobody can see what's happening inside you. Including you.

NeuroGut closes the gap between appointments — so you can see what's working and what isn't.

Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction are a $50B+ market. Nobody measures outcomes. NeuroGut closes the loop.

THE SOLUTION /

See It. Understand It. Fix It.

The treatments exist. The problem is knowing which one works for YOU. NeuroGut closes the feedback loop.

1

See What's Happening

Place your phone on your belly. In 3 minutes, see whether your body's internal balance is off — and in which direction.

2

Spot What Tipped It

Was it the food, the stress, or the poor sleep? The system tags what happened before each shift so you stop guessing.

3

Personalised Guidance

Your friend's solution might not work for you. NeuroGut reads YOUR gut-brain balance and matches interventions to YOUR profile — then measures whether it's working.

4

Improving Over Time

AI reads the relationship between your signals — heart rate, breathing, gut activity, stress — and turns them into one clear picture that improves with every session.

KEY METRIC /

Vagal Readiness Score (VRS)

A single score that reads heart rate, breathing, gut motility, and stress coherence together — tracking your autonomic readiness across sessions.

TECHNOLOGY /

Advanced Acoustic Processing

100-450 Hz 60 dB/oct 20-1500ms

Butterworth bandpass + adaptive SNR thresholding isolates gut sounds while rejecting breathing artifacts and environmental noise.

HOW IT WORKS /

Three Steps. Three Minutes.

Phone resting on abdomen for gut recording
1

Rest & Record

Place your phone gently on your belly. 3 minutes is all it takes.

2

See What's Happening

AI reads multiple signals together and shows whether your body's internal balance is off — not just numbers, but what they mean.

3

Try Something — See Proof

Do a guided exercise. Re-record. See whether YOUR balance shifted. Over time, the system learns what works for YOUR unique profile — not your friend's.

No extra hardware. No wearables. Just your phone.

EVIDENCE /

Proof You Can See

Real, measurable change from a single breathing session.

BEFORE Breathing Exercise
Stress Score 65 (Stressed)
Heart Rate 82 BPM
Breathing Rate 18/min
Vagal Tone 38 (Low)
Gut Motility Elevated
AFTER Breathing Exercise
Stress Score 93 (Calm)
Heart Rate 71 BPM
Breathing Rate 10/min
Vagal Tone 62 (Strong)
Gut Motility Settling

One 3-minute breathing exercise. Five signals shift together.
That pattern — not any single number — is the proof.

Stress-triggered episodes

All five health signals respond within 10-20 minutes to guided breathing exercises. The shift is measurable and visible.

Dietary-triggered episodes

Heart rate, breathing, and stress normalise quickly, but gut motility takes 2-6 hours — even when the person feels better. Different triggers, different recovery patterns.

AUDIENCE /

Who It's For

People managing gut health challenges
01

People living with gut-brain disorders

IBS, functional dyspepsia, gut-related anxiety, post-infectious gut issues — these are all Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction. Between appointments you're guessing. NeuroGut gives you concrete data about your gut-brain balance.

02

People who feel everything in their gut

You hold stress in your stomach, get butterflies easily, or feel emotions physically. NeuroGut measures that mind-body connection and shows you what helps.

03

Clinicians, researchers, and partners

Non-invasive gut acoustics + patient-reported data + before/after measurement. We're building the infrastructure for remote gut-brain monitoring.

DIFFERENTIATORS /

Why NeuroGut AI Is Different

Pulsetto ($269) and Sensate ($199) stimulate your nervous system — but can't tell you if it's working. Nerva and Zemedy offer therapy — but can't measure your gut.

We MEASURE your gut-brain balance, match INTERVENTIONS to your profile, and show PROOF it worked. Nobody else closes this loop.

✓

Measure, don't just stimulate

Other devices zap your vagus nerve and hope for the best. NeuroGut reads 5 signals to show whether your balance actually shifted.

✓

No hardware, no barrier

$9.99/mo with your existing phone. Not $269 for a device that might sit in a drawer.

✓

Gut + brain, not just one

Heart rate, breathing, gut motility, stress coherence, and vagal tone — read together, not in isolation.

✓

Built from lived experience

29 years in health, emergency surgery, 12 months rebuilding gut function. The founder uses NeuroGut every day.

The Team

From hospital bed to healthy — Michael's journey
Michael Bishopp - Founder & CEO

Michael Bishopp

Founder & CEO

After emergency surgery left his gut paralysed, Michael was given days to live. He spent 12 months rebuilding through biofeedback, breathing exercises, and nerve-calming techniques — with no way to measure if they were working.

That experience — living with a gut-brain disorder and having no feedback loop — is why NeuroGut exists. With 29 years in the health industry across Australia and Indonesia, Michael now leads NeuroGut as Founder & CEO. He uses it every day.

"I spent 12 months rebuilding gut function with no way to know if it was working. NeuroGut is the tool I wished existed — and I still use it every single day."
