THE SCIENCE
Building a health AI starts with understanding what you measure.
Our approach combines clinical expertise, artificial intelligence and longitudinal data analysis.
Rome V: a new framework for understanding gut–brain disorders
42.2%of the adults surveyed meet the criteria for at least one disorder of gut–brain interaction.
62%of the time, patients with irritable bowel syndrome do not get the information they expect from their doctor.
8.9%meet the new Rome V criteria for irritable bowel syndrome.
Sources: Rome V, Gastroenterology, 2026 (Palsson et al.; Wong et al.). The figure on information comes from a survey of more than 1,200 patients (Halpert et al., 2010), cited in Rome V.
From human language to structured data
A person does not describe their daily life with medical codes.
They say:
“I was super bloated after lunch, but I wasn’t really in pain.”
JOJO’s first task is to turn this natural language into information structured enough to be compared over time.
This structuring relies on an architecture combining artificial intelligence and deterministic validation rules.
AI proposes. The system checks.
Then comes time.
A single piece of information rarely makes it possible to understand a chronic disorder.
That is why our approach relies on time series: observing how several variables evolve together over several days, weeks or months.
The aim is to identify personalised patterns and, in time, predictive signals.
SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE
Technology alone is not enough.
JOJO is supported by health professionals and scientific experts so that technology is constantly tested against medical knowledge and the realities of the care pathway.

FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Do you work on digestive disorders?
We are developing JOJO with one conviction: the data produced between two consultations can improve the understanding of a patient’s journey when they are properly structured and contextualised.
We are looking for institutions, health professionals and research teams wishing to experiment with new uses around the longitudinal monitoring of digestive disorders.
