Abstract: Biological digital imaging systems and methods are disclosed herein for analyzing pixel data of one or more digital images depicting absorbent articles or portions of absorbent articles. A digital image comprising pixel data is obtained depicting an absorbent article or a portion of an absorbent article, the digital image. An imaging application (app) analyzes the digital image to detect a biological feature depicted within the pixel data of the digital image of the absorbent article or the portion of the absorbent article. The imaging app generates an individual-specific biological prediction value corresponding to at least one of: (a) the absorbent article; (b) the portion of the absorbent article; or (c) an individual associated with the absorbent article or portion of the absorbent article. The individual-specific biological prediction value is based on the biological feature depicted within the pixel data of the digital image of the absorbent article or the portion of the absorbent article.
