Abstract:

A symptomatic tremor detection system is disclosed. The system includes a seat sensor to measure at least a portion of weight from a user on a seat and a foot sensor to measure at least a portion of weight from the user on a foot support while the user is on the seat and supporting a foot with a foot support. The data from the seat sensor and the force sensor is used to identify a temporary weight changes in the data which correlate with the manifestation of symptomatic tremors. An additional, or tertiary, force sensor may also be used with the system to provide additional data relevant to the detection of symptomatic tremors.

Abstract:

The unobtrusive health-monitoring apparatus includes a camera, a controller, a data transmission port, and, optionally, a graphics processing unit (“GPU”) which executes nonlinear transformation algorithms. The camera may be inconspicuously disposed within a fixture in the room. The camera collects graphic data which may include still images or video of the user, or both. The GPU may execute the nonlinear transformation algorithms which may transform the graphic data into formats which cannot be recognized by humans. However, these formats preserve features that can be parsed by machine learning methods and used for health tracking purposes. The formats cannot be parsed by humans or be converted back to the original image or video by mathematical inversion or available computational methods. User privacy is thus preserved. The graphic data may be transmitted to a remote processor. The remote processor may perform algorithms which create a health status analyses.

Abstract:

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.

International Classification:

A61B 8/00
A61B 5/00

Abstract:

The medical toilet may include a seat, lid, and bowl as does a traditional toilet. It also includes one or more acoustic transducers. The acoustic transducers may be located on the seat where they may measure bone density in a user's pelvis or femur. The acoustic transducers may be located on the lid or on a belt which wraps around the user. These acoustic transducers may collect data relating to a user's heart, lungs, liver, bowel, or other internal organs. The medical toilet may include a handrail with an acoustic transducer which measures the bone density in the user's wrist, radius, or ulna. A controller associated with the medical toilet may store algorithms for analyzing the data collected by the acoustic transducers. The controller may perform machine learning to improve the analyses and may calculate trends in repeated measurements taken from the same user or a population of users.

Abstract:

A system for providing a report on vascular health of a user is disclosed. The system includes a toilet with a bowl adapted to receive excreta from the user and a processor. The toilet includes a seat with weight and PPG sensors. BCG data is derived from the weight sensor data. PPG data is derived from the PPG sensor. The processor performs a comparison of the data from the weight sensor and the data from the PPG sensor and preexisting data in a database. The processor then generates a report on the user's vascular health based on the comparison.

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
A47K 13/24
A47K 17/02

Abstract:

The medical toilet includes one or more sensors for measuring hardness of a soft tissue in contact with the sensor. The one or more sensors may be positioned on the toilet seat, toilet lid, or on a foot scale which extends from the base of the medical toilet. The sensors may include durometers, fluid-filled bubbles with pressure sensors on them, or an inflatable tube with pressure sensors on it. The measurements may be transmitted to a controller which may store and analyze the data. Changes in tissue hardness over time may be tracked and reported. The sensors may identify changes in the hardness of skin, adipose tissue, and muscle. These measurements may be useful to identify changes in skin thickness, body fat, muscle tone, tumors and other masses.

Abstract:

The sensor platform array includes a plurality of sensors and one or more sensor platforms. Each sensor may be mounted on a sensor platform. The sensor platform may be mounted on a support panel. The support panel may be mounted on a toilet lid. The one or more sensor platforms may be extendable towards a user seated on the toilet. Each sensor may be independently extended so that it is positioned flush against a user's body. The sensor platform array may include bendable arms which reach around a user and place sensors on the ventral side of the user. The sensors may collect measurements which are relevant to the user's health and well-being. In some embodiments, the sensors may be removable and replaceable so that different sensors may be added according to a user's individual needs.

Abstract:

The bidet system may include multiple seat scales which may float between the toilet bowl rim and the toilet seat. These seat scales may collect measurements which are transmitted to a controller. The controller may include instructions to calculate a user's center of mass based on the measurements and to identify the position of the user's anus based on the center of mass. The controller may then transmit instructions to a bidet wand directing direct the bidet wand to a position which aims a cleansing fluid spray toward the user's anus. A camera which collects images of the user's anal and urogenital region may also be included in the bidet system. The camera may transmit obfuscated images to the controller to identify other areas of the user's anatomy in need of cleansing. The controller may direct the bidet wand to aim a cleansing fluid spray toward these areas.
