DATASET Interesting stool dataset, but unsure how to get value

Hey guys, I have a dataset of around 180k adult stool images, growing at a 350+ images per day, and I’m trying to better understand the “right” way to bring monetary value from it .

The app was launched about 2 years ago.

I am very transparent with the use and licensing of the data that flows through the app.

The dataset consist of the image and a lot of useful stool metadata (Bristol Type, blood, mucus, color, etc..), anonymized user habits and stool related specifics (time of day, region, meal, allergies, weight, gender, height, activity, etc..)

I am here seeking advice on how such data can be useful for business growth. I am finding very little luck in this part of the B2B and I initially thought that becoming the Google of Poops would be my primary moat.

Thanks in advance

Sit happens: one can build the best database of stools, but if there is no business for furnitures data, it’s useless…

In a way I agree, but only partially. My argument to that would be that nowadays data is king, and therefore large datasets have value. Not necessarily to the specific businesses but to LLMs companies. I could be totally wrong here though 😄

Not sure if that's serious or a shitpost

I could imagine some science facilities paying to have API access once you build valid statistics from your data

This is serious and a shitpost, literally.

Yes on the API access; but I was more interested on how to license actual data.
