According to the embodiment, a toilet seat device includes a toilet seat and a biological sensor. The toilet seat that is formed of a resin material and includes a seating part on which a user is seated, and a bottom surface part facing the seating part. The biological sensor that is of an optical type, is positioned inside the toilet seat, and detects biological information of the user seated on the seating part. The seating part includes a thick portion and a thin portion. The thin portion is thinner than the thick portion. The biological sensor is located at a back surface side of the thin portion. The thick portion and the thin portion are formed as a continuous body. The thin portion has a thickness that can transmit irradiated light irradiated from the biological sensor and reflected light reflected from the user seated on the seating part.

Medical toilet with aptamer sensors to analyze urine

We disclose an in-toilet urinalysis system which includes a system for collection urine and for analysis of urine components using aptamer technology. Urine collection system may dispense urine into cuvettes, channels, or other containers that include aptamers. The aptamers may detect target molecules in urine. The aptamers may measure urine analytes, detect excreted drugs or drug metabolites, or disease markers. Upon binding to the target molecule, the aptamers may produce a signal which a sensor in the toilet may detect. In some embodiments, the signal may be electrochemical, fluorescent, or colorimetric. The measurements obtained from analysis of the urine may be used to assess a user's health or diagnose disease. In some embodiments, the measurements are stored in a controller which may transmit the measurements to a healthcare provider for assessment.

Non-invasive non-contact system and method for measuring health parameters

A system and method for measuring health parameters of a subject is disclosed. The system and method are based on a mirror; an image acquisition unit configured with the mirror, and comprising a thermal sensor for capturing thermal images or videos of a body part of the subject; and a processing unit to receive data packets associated with the captured thermal images or videos from the image acquisition unit to identify a region of interest of the body part in each frame of the captured thermal images and videos. Further, the processing unit extracts attributes associated with a heat intensity variation from the identified region of interest region, and compares the extracted attributes with a predetermined set of reference data to measure risk scores associated with the health parameters of the subject based on the comparison. The measured risk scores are displayed by a display unit.
