How high-tech toilets could soon be tracking your every movement
Just to prove there is no privacy anymore. If you ever find a loo in a rural setting in future you might be up for more than you bargained for! This story tells us:
The bathroom is arguably the last bastion of privacy, but soon a new high-tech lavatory could be tracking your every movement.
Researchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) and MIT have teamed up with sanitation specialists to create the ‘FitLoo’ which screens human waste for early signs of disease.
Data gathered by the sensors in the toilet bowl could be beamed to the users mobile phone so they can see how their health is changing or even directly to the GP so they could keep a remote eye on patients.
“The toilet offers an incredible opportunity for people to gain control of their health,” said Michael Lindenmayer, digital health and smart sanitation lead at the Toilet Board Coalition
