Disclosed here are kits comprising pre-packed stabilizing solutions for stabilizing combinations of biomarkers demonstrating sufficient accuracy and specificity for identifying kidney injuries. Such kits can be better adapted for sample collection at a subject's dwelling, thus easing the burdensome requirement of continuous monitoring for kidney injury.

An intelligent toilet that includes a toilet base having a bowl, a seat assembly comprising a seat, and a urine collection system integrated with the seat assembly, wherein the urine collection system includes an analyzer that is configured to test urine from a user and provide output health data of the user.

The present invention relates to a sample container having a new structure to effectively transfer a sample. A sample container according to the present invention includes: a container main body 10 that is formed in a cup shape having an open top surface, and a coupling hole 11 opened in a vertical direction is formed on one side of the container main body 10; a closed and sealed cover 20 that is coupled to an upper end of the container main body 10 to close and seal the container main body 10; and a detachably coupled collection tube 30 that is formed in the shape of a tube that extends in a vertical direction while having an open top surface, and is detachably coupled to the coupling hole 11, wherein a slope 12 that is inclined downward to the inside of the container main body 10 is formed on one side of an external circumferential surface of the container main body 10, wherein a recess portion 13 of which a lower end is open, and the recess portion 13 is formed on one side of the external circumferential surface of the container main body 10, and wherein the coupling hole 11 is formed to penetrate top and bottom surfaces of the recess portion 13, and the coupling hole 11 is formed on the top surface of the recess portion 13, accordingly, there is a merit that, after containing urine in the container main body 10 and combining the closed and sealed cover 20, the container main body 10 can be tilted to easily transfer urine to the collection tube 30 and the urine can be prevented from outflowing and contaminating the surrounding area, being contaminated, or being mistakenly switched.

Examples relate to systems, devices, and methods for removing fluid from a fluid collection device using a vacuum source operably coupled thereto. The fluid collection devices include urine collection devices having shape memory material that may be selectively shaped to complement the female or male anatomy near the respective urethras.

A urine analysis device for positioning within a toilet includes a test assembly having at least one rotatable holder including a plurality of test strips attached to the rotatable holder; an injector configured to inject a controlled volume of urine onto at least one of the test strips; and an analysis system configured to detect a result of urine injection onto the test strip.

An apparatus includes a disposable assembly and a reusable assembly. The disposable assembly includes a fluid input port, a fluid output port, and a tube configured to provide fluid communication between the fluid input port and the fluid output port. The reusable assembly includes a housing, a fluid management assembly that is configured to transition between an open position and a closed position, and a sensing assembly. The fluid management assembly is configured to prevent fluid from traveling past the tube to the fluid output port in the closed position. The sensing assembly is configured to sense fluid accumulating within the tube while the fluid management assembly is in the closed position. The sensing assembly is also configured to drive the fluid management assembly from the closed position to the open position when the sensing assembly detects fluid within the tube at a predetermined range.

The present invention provides systems, methods and apparatus for enabling a female user to hygienically collect a urine sample, the apparatus includes a container including a urine collection body for receiving a urine sample from the female user with and a separator mechanism for separating a first volume of urine of the urine sample to a first urine storage element and a second volume of urine of the urine sample to a second urine storage element, a lid for closing the container after the urine sample has been received and optionally a handle for holding the container.

Disclosed here are kits comprising pre-packed stabilizing solutions for stabilizing combinations of biomarkers at room temperature. Such kits can be better adapted for sample collection at a subject's dwelling, thus easing the burdensome requirement of sample collection.

Apparatus and methods are described for use with a bodily emission of a subject that is disposed within a toilet bowl. While the bodily emission is disposed within the toilet bowl, light is received from the toilet bowl using one or more light sensors. Using a computer processor, intensities of at least two spectral bands that are within a range of 530 nm to 785 nm are determined, by analyzing the received light, and a ratio of the intensities of the two spectral bands is determined. In response thereto, the computer processor determines that there is a presence of blood within the bodily emission. The computer processor generates an output on an output device, at least partially in response thereto. Other applications are also described.

Described is an apparatus for inline urine analysis comprising a control unit and at least one image capture unit comprising an image sensor and an optical assembly. The apparatus is configured to be coupled with an indwelling urinary catheter or conduit leading from the catheter. Embodiments of the apparatus comprise a dispenser configured to dispense inert or reactive matter into the urine stream to aid in the analysis of properties of the urine and an illumination device configured to illuminate the urine stream. Also described is a system comprising at least one of these apparatuses and at least one image analyzer unit operatively connected to it. The image analyzer unit comprises a processor and software adapted to analyze the captured images to derive information therefrom relating to identification of properties of the urine and/or objects of interest in the urine stream. Embodiments of the system may comprise other peripheral devices.
