Innovation of the day 4

The smart toilet. No specific invention here just a very good idea.

In olden days, before the enlightenment, stool watching was a daily part of life. All sorts of sensible and indefensible insights resulted.

This hobby pretty much disappeared with the Crapper’s water closet. It’s time for a return.

The idea is to add every known sensor to a toilet and also an internet connection so that users can have an app to correlate their shit with their shit.

Sensors in the seat include mass, temperature, moisture and pulse.

Plus some sort of user ID system, maybe using a combination of sensor data.

Possibly a camera with a bit of image processing smarts for the early detection of hemorrhoids, and also for the measurement of the (very important) colour (of the stools and urine) and shape of the stools.

And then all sorts of biosensors in the bowel for detection of bio markers related to good health, disease and specific conditions such as pregnancy.

We may as well chuck in the Japanese style warm water cleaning retractable arm system.

The first one will cost a few million but eventually the insurance companies will catch on and buy them for us.

One thought on “Innovation of the day 4

  1. Also a smart urine detector to replicate all the markers on the Urine test sticks they use at the doctors and hospitals early warning for all sorts of problems

    The Problem is how do you clean and separate results between users, it’s a mechanical and biological problem and should be solvable but it’s not trivial
