Company profile
researched Sep 2026Injoy is a health technology company focused on gut health, combining microbiome testing with artificial intelligence. Its offering centers on a three-sample stool-based microbiome test intended to capture dynamic gut insights over time rather than a single snapshot, paired with a consumer app that includes an AI assistant called GutChat.
The company positions its work around translating microbiome science into practical guidance on food, movement, sleep and stress, and on explaining what stool testing can and cannot reveal. It is led by founder and CEO Luca Cuccia, who has assembled the team behind the test and app.
Founding story
Injoy was founded by Luca Cuccia, whose motivation for the company was personal: he survived childhood cancer and later experienced painful inflammation, which led him to focus on gut health. A graduate of McGill University in Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Cuccia previously started MicroPredictome and was the youngest member of the Techstars Montreal AI Program.
Traction
Injoy has been featured on FOX News and on the GI Society's BadGut.org, and collaborates with Olympic athletes. Founder Luca Cuccia was named one of Quebec's Top 25 Emerging Entrepreneurs by C2 Montreal and spoke at a Global Healthcare event on gut health.

Market position
Injoy describes itself as offering the only three-sample microbiome test for dynamic gut insights, differentiating from single-sample stool testing.
