Dr. Toilet Will See You Now!
Filed in archive Wired Home General on July 10, 2005
I'm all for technology in the home but this toilet mentioned in an article at CNN.com seems a little much to me:
The "Intelligence Toilet" system, created by Japan's largest toilet company, Toto, can measure sugar levels in urine, blood pressure, body fat and weight.
The toilet, which starts at $3,500, was developed by Toto in conjunction with homebuilder Daiwa House Industry.
Users begin their toilet-room medical at the built-in urine analyzer, which collects five cubic centimeters (0.15 fluid ounces) of urine before analyzing sugar levels. The device cleans itself automatically after the one-minute long test.
What will they think of next? A toaster that discusses your "feelings"?
Clever toilet checks on your health
