I’m excited about this product, but curious about the practical logistic of using it and it’s not clear to me how it works from the product page.
Is it too much to say that I've thought that we could easily collect valuable health information by collecting data on digestion output. It mostly happens in just a few locations (unlike input), so it's perhaps worthwhile to invest in data collection. I expect weight to be valuable, simple to collect, precise, and quantified (thus simple to analyze). Assuming excrement and urine have consistent masses, you would have…
Probably tough to do much with just information about the outputs.
Could probably also develop a toilet seat that weighs you and measures body composition.
Sometimes we really oughta ask ourselves if we should do something just because we can.
See - I actually think this is a pretty interesting idea. Stool/Urine are fairly solid indicators of personal health in a lot of ways. But I think this is a product that probably shouldn't be allowed to exist as a standard SaaS/IoT product. If this was a box I could hook up on my toilet that showed useful info on a screen locally - with zero network access... I'd consider buying. --- People are really glib about the…
Pair this with a U-Scan Nutrio ( https://www.withings.com/us/en/u-scan-nutrio ) for "Number 1" and you're all set. Could probably also develop a toilet seat that weighs you and measures body composition.
Does everyone in the house need their own toilet for this to work or would a couple need two separate cameras attached to the same bowl? What happens if a guest uses your toilet? I’m excited about this product, but curious about the practical logistic of using it and it’s not clear to me how it works from the product page.
So it sounds like you would only need one camera for multiple people using the same toilet.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
These "eyes". Do they save data to a database? Is that database query able by say, your doctor with actual usefulness? What got logged on March 12th at 2:43 AM, 2003? Can you show it to someone else for them to analyze, or do they have to rely on your expert opinion?
Is your data corrupted? Yes, the data is saved to a database. Yes, that database is queryable by me, an even more efficient path than a third party querying something as ridiculous as a database of stool pictures? At least you could have used a contemporary "AI analyzed" trope. But besides the point, are you like some vested interest in poop-cam? Or why all the intense defense of this ridiculous idea? Is it your baby…
Okay, then it should be easy to answer: What got logged on March 12th at 2:43 AM, 2003?
Or even just last month? Do you know how the average amount of mass has changed over the last 6 months with any accuracy, or are you eyeballing it and assuming that there's no variation?

Rule of thumb: Ad hominem never makes your position stronger.
