A urine testing device and a smart toilet having the urine testing device, which includes a base, a paper feeding module, a sample adding module, and a testing module installed on the base and arranged in a linear form. The paper feeding module has a test paper box, a lifting mechanism, and a pushing mechanism. A horizontal paper leakage groove is disposed at a bottom of the test paper box to receive a bottommost piece of test paper. The lifting mechanism lifts and descends the test paper box to reveal/seal the paper leakage groove. The pushing mechanism pushes out test paper from the paper leakage groove and delivers test paper to the sample adding and testing modules. The sample adding module dropwise adds urine to be tested on test paper. The testing module tests test paper added with the sample to obtain a urine testing result.

Analytical Toilet for Detecting Viruses in Urine

The invention is an analytical toilet and a method. The toilet, includes a bowl adapted to receive urine. A passage is provided for transferring a sample of the urine to a detection system. The detection system is configured to receive the sample and detect a virus. When the sample is brought into contact with the detection system, the detection system indicates the presence of a virus by generating a distinct signal. Preferably, the detection system makes use of a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), such as a quantitative PCR instrument. The method makes use of the analytical toilet and is designed to detect the presence or absence of targeted genetic material, preferably genetic material from a virus, such as SARS-CoV-2.

Toilet system

Provided is a toilet system that can provide more detailed information about a use state of a toilet. The toilet system includes: a detection unit (a door lock sensor, a seating sensor, a rotation sensor, a toilet washing switch, etc.) which detects a situation inside a toilet stall; and a control unit which determines, based on a detection result of the detection unit, that the toilet stall is in a vacant state or in an used state, and further makes at least one of a determination that the toilet stall in the used state is in a state immediately after a start of use and a determination that the toilet stall in the used state is in a state immediately before an end of use, and outputs a signal including determination results.

Connected Sanitaryware Systems and Methods

A sanitaryware system may include sensors to determine a status or condition of one or more sanitaryware fixtures in the sanitaryware system and perform a particular function, such as, for example performing a flush, closing the flush valve and/or angle stop, sending an alert, initiating a service ticket. The sanitaryware system may automatically perform the function. The sanitaryware system may communicate the status or condition to an internet connected device and/or user, the device may perform the function or may instruct the sanitaryware to perform the function. The sensed information, sanitaryware system status or condition, and/or initiated response may be logged and monitored to improve the overall efficiency and operation of the sanitaryware system and the sanitaryware fixtures within the system.

Toilet volatile organic compound analysis system for urine

An in-toilet urine sampling and measurement system is disclosed. One or more toilet sensors trigger volatilization, measurement, and analysis of volatile compounds in a urine sample. Volatile urine compounds may be concentrated, measured, and analyzed by a measurement system attached to a toilet bowl. A volatilizer system may use heat generated from one or more measurement devices to assist in volatilization of the urine sample.
