EARLY CONCEPT / EXPLORING PARTNERS

AI-Powered Bio-Acoustic Sensing

Listen to your gut.
Literally.

NeuroGut Acoustics™ is a smartphone-based app that listens to your gut sounds and helps you connect butterflies, gurgles, and flutters with your stress, food, and daily rhythms.

Instead of guessing what your gut is doing, you can capture short sound check-ins, combine them with mood and stress logs, and start seeing patterns over time. It's a wellbeing tool to help you understand your own body better today—with a long-term vision for research and clinical collaboration tomorrow.

CHALLENGES /

Navigating Gut Challenges Can Feel Overwhelming

Butterflies, flutters, and gurgles

Some days your gut feels like a calm pond. Other days it's buzzing, churning, or strangely quiet—and you're not sure why.

⚡

Stress makes everything louder

You notice that big emotions, conflict, or pressure seem to hit your gut first. But it's hard to prove or explain that to anyone else.

Invisible activity

Gut sounds and rhythms are mostly hidden. You might sense them, but there's no simple way to observe or track what's really happening.

···

Hard to explain to others

When you talk to family, friends, or clinicians, it can be difficult to describe what your gut feels like day-to-day in a way that makes sense.

FEATURES /

How NeuroGut Acoustics™ Helps

A wellbeing and self-management platform designed to give you insight and awareness—not diagnosis or treatment.

Smartphone on abdomen for sound recording

♪

GI Sound Check

Use your smartphone like a gentle stethoscope. Rest it on your abdomen for short check-ins and capture the natural sounds your gut is already making. Non-invasive, no extra hardware.

Data patterns and AI analysis visualization

≈

Pattern Insights (Non-diagnostic)

AI-assisted pattern recognition highlights general activity rhythms—like more active versus quieter periods, or clusters of sounds. This is awareness only, not diagnosis.

⟲

Gut–Brain Awareness

Log stress levels, sleep quality, meals, and mood so you can explore how your emotional state and daily habits line up with your gut sound patterns.

Doctor patient conversation and collaboration

↗

Better Conversations

Turn your observations into simple summaries you can share with family or discuss with clinicians—so you're not relying only on memory and vague descriptions.

DEMO /

MVP Walkthrough

Important: NeuroGut Acoustics™ provides insight and awareness to support your wellbeing journey—it does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional medical care.

PROCESS /

How it works (early concept)

Record short gut sound check-ins

Place your phone gently on your abdomen, press record, and capture 30–60 seconds of natural gut sounds.

Tag how you feel

Add a quick note: stress level, mood, what you last ate, and any gut sensations (butterflies, heaviness, cramping, gurgling, etc.).

Review gentle patterns over time

The app highlights simple trends so you can start connecting the dots between what you feel, what your gut sounds like, and how your days are structured.

The first version will focus on personal awareness and journalling. Future phases may explore research collaborations and clinician-facing tools.

AUDIENCE /

Who It's For

People navigating ongoing gut challenges

Living with Crohn's, IBD, IBS, post-surgical changes, or unexplained gut symptoms can be confusing and isolating. NeuroGut Acoustics™ helps you observe your own gut patterns in a way that feels concrete—not just "in your head".

People who feel everything in their gut

If you're someone who "holds stress in their stomach", gets butterflies easily, or feels emotions strongly in their gut, this app is designed to help you make sense of that mind–body connection.

Clinicians, researchers, and innovation partners

We're exploring how non-invasive gut acoustics and patient-reported data could support future research, digital health tools, and chronic condition self-management.

DIFFERENTIATORS /

Why NeuroGut Acoustics™ Is Different

✓

Non-invasive sound capture

No special hardware—just your phone and a quiet moment.

✓

Mind–body patterns, not just metrics

Combines gut acoustics with stress, sleep, meals, and emotional state.

✓

Lived experience + clinical background

Built by a founder with 15+ years in patient-facing care and long-term experience with complex gut conditions.

✓

Designed to complement care

A self-awareness tool meant to sit alongside professional medical guidance, not replace it.

PARTNERSHIPS /

For Partners & Innovators

Open to research collaboration and innovation partnerships

NeuroGut Acoustics™ sits at the intersection of gut–brain science, digital health, and accessible bio-acoustic sensing. We're currently based on the Gold Coast and actively exploring collaboration with:

→ Health-tech accelerators and hubs (including LuminaX and the Gold Coast Health & Knowledge Precinct)
→ University-based research teams interested in GI acoustics and autonomic nervous system dynamics
→ Clinicians and services supporting Crohn's, IBD, IBS, post-surgical patients, and functional gut disorders
→ Data scientists exploring pattern recognition and non-invasive signal analysis in real-world settings

If you're interested in exploring pilots, feasibility studies, or co-designing future clinical tools, we'd love to connect.

FOUNDER /

About the Founder

Dr. Michael Bishopp

NeuroGut Acoustics™ is led by Dr. Michael Bishopp, a Gold Coast–based health founder with over 15 years of experience in patient-facing roles and clinic systems.

After navigating complex gut challenges, bowel surgery, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with long-term illness, he became obsessed with the gut–brain connection and how we can listen to the body in new ways. NeuroGut Acoustics™ is his attempt to turn lived experience, clinical insight, and modern AI tools into something practical, gentle, and genuinely helpful.
