'Smart toilet' recognizes users' backsides, analyzes poop

A team of Stanford University scientists announced they have designed a "smart toilet" that identifies the user by the shape of their backside and monitors the health of their waste.

Lead researcher Sanjiv Gambhir said he and his team developed the Precision Health smart toilet to recognize users and use algorithms to analyze the health of their urination and bowel movements.

Gambhir said the toilet uses cameras and motion sensors to identify "a range of disease markers in stool and urine," including warning signs of various types of cancer.

The researchers said the toilet identifies users by reading their fingerprints from the flush lever, but it also uses cameras to identify them by another part of the body.

"We know it seems weird, but as it turns out, your anal print is unique," Gambhir said.

The toilet takes video of stool samples and uses algorithms to analyze the consistency of the waste.

The system also records urination and evaluates "flow rate, stream time and total volume."

"Everyone uses the bathroom -- there's really no avoiding it -- and that enhances its value as a disease-detecting device," Gambhir said.

Makes sense. Seem like we mostly vote for turds anyway.

Cologuard will be teaming up with this organization. One stop shopping.

It never occurred to me that backsides are unique, but, come to think of it, I suppose they are.

Do you think they'll replace fingerprints, irises, and facial analysis as official identifiers.

Do you suppose the Democrats would accept backside identification for voting?

Just wondering...

It’s bad enough as it is. VA people are always trying to pin a PTSD label on me. It’s getting ridiculous. My doctor is okay but it’s the people at the local center that keep pushing it and extolling the virtues of the addictive drugs they take. I quit going. It used to be that you could just talk about things that bother you. Now they are trying to medicate everything.

That’s where this is all going. Force mental health treatment of everyone.

LOL! Don’t know who’s in charge but for me...post of the day!

D.C. is a cesspool that changes people.

Oh, is that the place where you can send in a sample of your...flushable items and have them analyzed for cancer?

There is money to be made...if you’re willing to get your hands dirty, so to speak.

I’d burn out the sensors on first use.

I don’t think it’s the entire backside that’s unique. It’s the pattern around the, uh, “orifice” that’s unique. I don’t think it will replace fingerprinting, though.

You and me both. The machine would be yelling, “Hey, you can’t use a half a roll in one sitting! That’s not allowed!”

Libtards tell you the world’s thirst for energy production is causing life to end on Earth yet they want to power everything in life.

Great point! And so much of what they want to power is absolutely useless.

" I don’t think it will replace fingerprinting"

You never know...

Stranger things have come to pass...
(There's a rhyme in there somewhere,
But I dare not go there...)

Oh all right!

Love of poetry sometimes overrides concerns of propriety, as in the implications of gender confusion in the sonnets of William Shakespeare and the suggestions that William Blake might have been talking about a red-hot female in his poem about the tiger. So perhaps it might overcome offences to elegant sensitivities--and keep me from getting kicked off FR--if I merely substitute blank spaces for offensive words, leaving the substance of the poem to the imagination of the reader.

Love of great poetry has brought me to the brink of incaution. Dare I throw myself to the winds?

Okay. I'll throw.

Here goes:

Stranger things have come to pass
Than being identified by one's ___,
Yet fitting for the leftist twit,
So like an ___, so full of ____.

There.

What do you think?
