Simple, just have an OAuth login panel at the toilet to make sure your data gets assigned correctly.
Facial recognition? I don't want a touchscreen on my toilet.
Adult Swim's Smart Pipe coming to life. https://youtu.be/DJklHwoYgBQ I actually thought it was a cool idea when I watched that, besides the exaggerated parts for the joke.
Atlas Shrugged @ 5:15
Start at 4:55 for the set-up. SmartPipe CEO Kirk Peckley is played by Mark Proksch, who also played Daniel Wormald (a.k.a Pryce) the H2 driving Squat Cobbler from Better Call Saul!

>Indeed, Proksch – who says he took Gilligan and Gould’s reaction as “incredibly high praise” – says the K-Strass character isn’t much of a stretch from who he is as a person. In fact, he says there’s even a little bit of K-Strass DNA in his performance as Pryce on Better Call Saul. “Every character that I play is a variation of me,” he says. “I have yet to play an out and out asshole or a villain. It’s always kind of a pathetic guy wearing pleats. And that’s what I love. I’m so happy that I get to play these arrogant idiots.”
Stool diagnostics are the future. So much health information is flushed down the toilet. I hope this will soon be a standard in houses. Except, the problem is what happens to the data of friends that use your toilet...
I sure as hell hope is is not. Like every other piece of convenience crapware (pun intended) we've surrounded ourselves with, it would undoubtedly come packed with data sharing agreements with ad networks / data brokers.
If this ever becomes some sort of norm, I would encourage people to start mailing boxes of their own waste directly to Google for them to enjoy analyzing, as the data would inevitably end up in their hands anyway.
The real problem is false positives. Suppose this system puts up a warning. What next? Expensive and/or invasive tests? Could be more trouble than it's worth. If it were me, I'd have to see a very high rate of accuracy before I'd trust it.
There's a Japanese startup that makes smart cat litterboxes. Clever stuff.
