Measuring Bloating with Cameras: A Self-Experiment
from My Weird Prompts
After years of post-gallbladder bloating, listener Daniel received a diagnosis of abdominophrenic dyssynergia — a coordination problem between the diaphragm and abdominal muscles. Now he wants to record his stomach before and after meals to see if video analysis reveals which muscles are involved. This episode explores the camera angles, anatomical markers, standardized protocols, and time-lapse speeds needed to turn an N-of-one experiment into clinically useful data. We also discuss whether computer vision tools could help quantify paradoxical movement patterns, and which specialists might actually engage with patient-generated video.
