Abstract: A system for distinguishing a type of excreta deposited in a toilet is disclosed. The system includes a toilet and a processor. The toilet has a bowl adapted to receive multiple types of excreta from a user and a sensor which monitors the volume of excreta deposited in the toilet. The processor compares excreta volume data derived from the sensor to a database comprising excreta-type volume data and associates a time segment from the excreta volume data as representing an excreta-type. This system can provide data which may be used to determine the rate of excreta deposit into the toilet and associated those rates with excreta events types such as urination or defecation.

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.

Abstract: Devices and methods for internet of things (IOT) discovery/auto discovery are described. A discovery packet is received from a device. The discovery packet includes a first stream identifier and a request to establish a second stream. A stream acceptance packet is sent to the device. The stream acceptance packet includes the first stream identifier and an input for generating a second stream identifier. A first association is added to the registration based on the request to establish the second stream. The first association is between the second stream identifier and a determined destination. A first data packet is received from the device, where the first data packet includes/utilizes the second stream identifier. The first data packet is sent to the destination based on the first association in the registration.

Abstract: A system for obtaining clearance comprises a mechanism to identify the user and generate an identification signal; an analytical toilet comprising a bowl to receive excreta from the user; an analyzer configured to analyze the sample to detect one or more antibodies in a sample of the excreta or sputum and to generate an analysis signal; a processor configured to receive the identification signal and the analysis signal; determine therefrom the status of the user with respect to the one or more antibodies; and transmit a report to an authority, the report comprising the identity and the status of the user with respect to the antibodies detected. A method for obtaining clearance comprises linking a user to an analytical toilet; receiving a sample of excreta from the user in the analytical toilet; analyzing the sample of excreta in an analytical toilet to detect one or more antibodies; processing results from the analytical toilet and determining the status of the user with respect to the antibodies detected; submitting the identity and the status of the user with respect to the antibodies detected to an authority.

Abstract: A system and a method to obtain clearance is disclosed. The system includes user identification hardware configured to establish identity of the user. The system also includes a toilet configured to analyze a sample of excreta or sputum from the user, to thereby determine the status of the user with respect to a pre-determined condition. A processing module is configured to link the identity of the user with the status of the user. A communication module communicates information including the linked identity and status of the user to an authority. As such, the authority is provided the information required to grant or deny clearance to the user. Clearance may include allowing a user to use one or more forms of public transportation, be in places where large numbers of people congregate, participate in an athletic competition or other places or activities where the condition of the user may put themselves or others at risk.
