Device mounted to a toilet incorporates test strips and video cameras and recognizes the user by fingerprint and 'distinctive features' on their anus.
A"smart toilet" that can detect disease by collecting data from the urine and feces of a user has been developed by scientists in the U.S.
In February, a global initiative was launched by researchers in the U.K. to harness wearables in a bid to find"fingerprints" of neurological diseases like Alzeheimer's. By using digital health technology, the team hopes to identify people at most risk of these diseases improving early detection rates.
Last March, researchers at the Rochester Institute of Technology announced they had developed a toilet-based cardiovascular monitoring system. The toilet seat can measure things like heart rate and blood pressure. The seat could be given to people with congestive heart failure, and the data could be analyzed so if a person's condition is deteriorating, health providers can be alerted.
Urine and stool samples are filmed and then processed. Algorithms are then used to check for normal flow rate, stream time, consistency and volume. Physical analysis is also carried out via"dipstick tests," with equipment that can measure different biomarkers. Eventually, the researchers write, they hope to develop on-demand tests for specific diseases, so smart toilets can have custom monitoring systems according to the specific user and their health risks.
