Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device that measures volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by an individual's urine, feces or present in flatulence for use in assessing the individual's health. The device may be part of a toilet. The device includes a gas sensor that measures VOCs in the air within the toilet bowl after waste is deposited therein. The device includes a manifold that keeps air from the toilet bowl separate from water and waste in the toilet bowl until the gas sensor has collected readings. Then the manifold combines the air, water, and waste before depositing the material into the sewer system. The gas sensor may be connected to a processor that analyses the gas sensor readings, provides a report of the analyzed data, and transmits the data to a network. A healthcare provider may download the data from the network to assess the individual's health.

Abstract: A toilet seat apparatus is disclosed herein which, in some embodiments, includes a cavity, an acoustic transducer, orifices, and an impedance matching substance dispenser. The dispenser may include a reservoir, a conduit, and a pump. The reservoir dispenses an impedance matching substance may be connected to the conduit and pump. The toilet seat apparatus performs ultrasound analyses of a user seated on the toilet. The impedance matching substance may be what is known as ultrasound gel which improves conduction during the acoustic transduction of an ultrasound analysis. This apparatus permits a user to receive an ultrasound analysis of the thigh, including automatically dispensing the ultrasound gel, while seated on a toilet seat.

Abstract: We disclose a device that both extracts and preconcentrates volatile analytes in preparation for separation by gas chromatography. The device includes a conduit that may include two, and sometimes three, separate sections that are connected end-to-end, but which may be separated prior to inserting into a gas chromatograph port. The inner surface of each section is coated with one or more sorbents, each with a different affinity for volatile analytes. The sorbents may be positioned along the sections of the column in order of relative affinity for volatile analytes. The sections may be heated independently of each other to release the volatile analytes from the sorbents more quickly. This device reduces the time and the temperature required to achieve separation by gas chromatography. The device may be used to perform gas chromatography in ubiquitous environments such as the home or a mobile situation.

Abstract: We disclose a device and method for collecting a urine sample as a user urinates into a toilet. The device further conducts analytical measurements which may include spectral, colorimetric, and chemical assays. The user need only urinate normally into the toilet. A urine collection trap, which includes a vertical slit, may capture a urine sample which has a volume in the microliter range. Pumps may divert the urine from the vertical slit into a conduit that is connected to spectral analysis devices and other devices for analyzing the urine sample. The disclosed device is both convenient and prevents unsanitary urine spills.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical dispensing method using an unattended medical kiosk is disclosed. The pharmaceutical dispensing method securely dispenses medication to users, and provides a format for dispensing that can be easily localized, such as in the form of an unattended medical kiosk while maintaining security, privacy, and verified user identification. In some embodiments the pharmaceutical dispensing method relies on medical testing in the kiosk in order to verify user identification before dispensing medication. In an embodiment a user payment bypass may be utilized in cases of high medical risk allowing the user to get life-saving medication quickly, and in another embodiment a method of remote prescription approval is provided. Further varieties and embodiments of pharmaceutical dispensing using an unattended medical kiosk are disclosed.

Abstract: We disclose a health metric validation system in which a first heath metric is taken which is a measurement that is relevant to a user's health status. The first health metric may be used to diagnose a disease. A second metric is collected from the user and used to validate the first health metric. The first health metric and the second metric are entered into a computer which applies a first set of rules to the first health metric and second metric. The computer calculates a weight value and assigns it to the first health metric. The computer applies a second set of rules to the first health metric and its weight value to calculate an indicator value. The indicator value provides an indication of the validity of the first health metric.

Abstract: 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.
