CibbuanoMedical Check-Ups in your Bathroom
August 3rd 2006 00:25
Crazy stuff from Japan. Two companies from Japan, Yamato House and TOTO have recently released an innovative new bathroom design which is programmed to be an ongoing monitor of the health of family members. The bathroom of the future has been named the “intelligent rest room.” Go about your daily business in the bathroom and behind the scene your vital signs are being recorded. Urine sugar levels, blood pressure, body fat percentage and body weight are all recorded and collated for different family members. The theory is that the data is all collected at the same time every day. This way it becomes a routine and your overall health and any changes in vitals can be recorded over a long period of time.
The data is all collected and sent to a home network which the shows the history and trends of your ongoing results. Part of the package is a diagnostics program that will help detect health problems, keep track of changes and provide advice for healthier living such as exercise or dietary recommendations. It is like having a daily check up and the services of your doctor available 24/7.
Urine measurements are taken in the toilet bowl. Blood pressure is taken at a monitor next to the toilet bowl. Scales are situated in front of a mirror and built into the floor. The body fat meter is located next to the hand basin.
Once testing is complete, the results are displayed straight away on an LCD screen installed in the wall of the bathroom. You can even input your daily calorie intake to help calculate your metabolism and daily calorific needs.
The intelligent rest room comes in at an additional US$3500 to US$5000 to a complete bathroom renovation.
