Smart Toilet: Artificial Intelligence In Your Bathroom

According to Sameer Berry, “Everything these days is connected and smart, but I feel like the bathroom is a very untapped area,”

Oh, no, bathroom?

Yes, everything is becoming really smart and the toilet isn’t going to be left out on this revolution.

Michael Lindenmayer, the smart sanitation and digital health co-lead at the Toilet Board Coalition said; Smart toilets could even yield insights into public health. 

This is an important point because so many kinds of diseases such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and even cancer hide their marks in urine and feces; that’s a good source to discover so much about human health and help combat disease before they become a disaster. 

And smart toilets are going to change the way diseases are discovered, diagnosed and treated.

Interestingly, smart toilets aren’t just tech gadgets to fantasize about they can actually improve human hygiene and health care in general.

One important advantage of these smart toilets over smartwatches and other wearable health and fitness trackers is the fact that you don’t need to remember to charge them or use them. Everyone will eventually use them. 

A lot of people can be really lazy to go see the doctor from time to time or will hardly have the time to do so if they don’t feel really down in health. But with these toilets, you will almost always get information about your health from time to time. Except you are superhuman, you will definitely use the toilet.

Recently, Google was granted a patent for a smart toilet that would examine and gauge a person’s blood pressure as they sit on it, along with several other health-tracking bathroom fixtures.

Smart toilet innovations are definitely going to be some of the best bathroom innovations that humanity will experience.

Are there already some smart toilets in the market?
