Health seat for toilets and bidets
An intelligent toilet that includes a toilet base having a bowl, a seat assembly comprising a seat, and a urine collection system integrated with the seat assembly, wherein the urine collection system includes an analyzer that is configured to test urine from a user and provide output health data of the user.
1. A toilet comprising:
a toilet base having a body and a bowl; and
a urine collection system comprising:
an analyzer configured to perform an analysis of urine on a test strip from a user and provide output health data of the user; and
a mount configured to couple the urine collection system to the toilet base and push the test strip into the bowl under a force of water.
2. The toilet of claim 1 , wherein the urine collection system comprises:
a memory configured to store data from the analysis of the urine;
a proximity sensor; and
a battery configured to provide power to the analyzer.
3. The toilet of claim 1 , wherein an alert is provided in response to the analysis of the urine.
4. The toilet of claim 1 , further comprising:
a platform extending from a lower front of the body, the platform comprising a foot warmer, a heart rate sensor that measures a heart rate of the user, or a scale that measures a weight of the user.
5. The toilet of claim 1 , further comprising:
a controller configured to communicate with the analyzer and an external device through a network so that the data from the analysis of the urine can be received by the external device.
6. A toilet comprising:
an assembly mounted to a top surface of a toilet bowl;
a sensor configured to provide data to identify a user;
a urine collection system within the assembly, the urine collection system comprising:
an analyzer configured to perform an analysis of urine from the user and provide output health data of the user;
a memory configured to store data from the analysis of the urine;
a proximity sensor; and
a battery configured to provide power to the analyzer; and
a controller configured to communicate with the analyzer and an external device through a network so that the output health data from the analysis of the urine can be received by the external device with the identity of the user, wherein the external device coordinates the analysis of urine from a plurality of appliances.
7. The toilet of claim 6 , wherein the assembly is a seat assembly.
8. The toilet of claim 7 , wherein the urine collection system includes an inlet opening for receiving a test strip.
9. The toilet of claim 6 , wherein the urine collection system comprises an arm that is moveable between a use position and a non-use position.
10. The toilet of claim 9 , wherein the arm includes a receiving aperture configured to receive a test strip for capturing the urine from the user.
11. The toilet of claim 6 , further comprising:
a cleaning device that cleans at least a portion of the urine collection system during a cleaning cycle.
12. The toilet of claim 11 , wherein the cleaning device comprises a fluid emitter that emits a cleaning fluid over at least the portion of the urine collection system during the cleaning cycle.
13. The toilet of claim 11 , wherein the cleaning device comprises an ultraviolet light emitter that emits ultraviolet light onto at least the portion of the urine collection system during the cleaning cycle.
14. The toilet of claim 6 , further comprising:
a platform extending from the toilet bowl, the platform comprising a foot warmer, a heart rate sensor that measures a heart rate of the user, or a scale that measures a weight of the user.
15. An intelligent toilet, comprising:
a toilet base having a body and a bowl in the body;
a urine collection system comprising:
a valve integrated into an opening in the bowl and operable by a solenoid to open and close an opening;
an analyzer, coupled to the valve, located in the toilet base and configured to analyze urine from a user and provide output health data of the user; and
a controller configured to communicate with the analyzer and an external device through a network so that the output health data from the analysis of the urine can be received by the external device with the identity of the user.
16. The intelligent toilet of claim 15 , wherein the analyzer is configured to analyze urine captured on a test strip located in the toilet base for collecting a sample of urine from a user.
17. The intelligent toilet of claim 16 , further comprising the foot warmer, the heart rate sensor, the scale, and a controller, wherein the controller comprises a microprocessor that controls operation of the foot warmer, receives a first input signal from the heart rate sensor in response to the measured heart rate, and receives a second input signal from the scale in response to the measured weight.
18. The intelligent toilet of claim 17 , further comprising:
a display located on the toilet base or the platform, wherein the display is configured to display the measured heart rate and the measured weight in response to the received the first and second input signals.
19. The intelligent toilet of claim 17 , wherein the controller communicates with an external device through a network so that the first and second input signals are received by the external device.
