Health Condition Determination System
A health condition determination method is disclosed. Analyte samples may be obtained from a medical toilet in individual sessions on a daily basis and analyzed over weeks, months and years. Data collected from these samples is analyzed according to a predetermined target variance. The data is filtered and recursively analyzed inputting additional sample data until the refined measured variance is within the target variance. The determined health condition is then communicated to a health professional.
1 . A health condition determination method, comprising:
providing an analyte sample;
providing a predetermined target variance for one or more properties of the analyte sample;
providing a toilet comprising one or more health measurement devices in communication with the analyte sample;
providing multiple toilet-based health measurement sessions gathering data related to the analyte sample using the one or more health measurement devices;
providing one or more processors connected to the one or more health measurement devices, the one or more processors receiving the data and executing a filtering function for refining the data;
using the processors to track the filtered data over the multiple sessions;
using the filtered data recursively to refine a measured variance for the one or more properties of the analyte sample until a refined measured variance is within the predetermined target variance;
using the one or more properties of the analyte sample when the predetermined target variance is reached to determine a health condition of a donor who provided the analyte sample.
