Floragraph is an early-stage company created to enable Personal Microbiome Monitoring in the context of the Quantified Self (QS) movement. Our goal is to develop and provide an at-home consumer solution that allows individuals to monitor the quantity and diversity of their gut microbiome. In combination with annotation (health, diet,...), this will enable us to build an online, data-driven presence that assembles the annotation and data (linking the solution through mobile phones) for… Show more Floragraph is an early-stage company created to enable Personal Microbiome Monitoring in the context of the Quantified Self (QS) movement.
