The quest of being environmental friendly ,have led people to explore every possible aspect.The latest one, is the “Smart Toilet”. This Pandemic have made people think about hygiene more than ever, and personal hygiene tops the list. It has been proved that smart toilet stands amongst the top 20 most search item on amazon, this lockdown period.
In layman’s term, a smart toilet is a normal toilet filled with gadgets, where the data gets stored in a cloud based software. It is like a bidet , which is mounted on the ordinary toilet having multi-purposes. It’ s not something ,that would lift the lid when its sensing human, but rather it is valued as “Disease Detecting ” toilet. It can be used for treating diseases related to stool and urine, which includes detecting prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, etc.
In many cases , the doctor’s are not able to treat patients since it’s impossible for anyone to keep record of each and every element of poop. Using Artificial Intelligence(AI),the toilet would keep a record of the number of times any particular individual sits, with help of unique IDs .
The data of the stool assessment and urine samples captured in the form of video, with help of algorithm are sent to a separate cloud based system. The sample helps in giving the Urodynamics. Urodynamics consists of stream time, total volume, flow rate ,etc. The smart toilet even measures the protein levels , and our consistency of white blood cells(WBCs) in our body. This can help in treating cancers and kidney failures.
The toilet has a scanner for both finger and non-finger parts which are unique in nature. Otherwise the concept of reading fingerprints on flush would prove out to be inappropriate. However, the scientists are now trying to overcome the problem of camera shy people , by replacing the concept of scanning private parts of people for unique IDs , with a laser camera.
