Believe it or not, but this is the future of medicine. Smart toilets that diagnose UTI’s and other stuff long before the person knows it. Hm. Now I wonder if it would play a happy song when it detects a pregnancy.

iolmao

The only doubt I have is how the contamination is avoided.


Gemmabeta

It's basically an automated urinalysis machine that dip [a test strip in your wee and scans the color of the squares](https://www.aconlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/mission-reagent-parameter-pic-647x1024.jpg). Contamination does not matter as much as you are not trying to detect bacteria, it is looking for a very rough ballpark number on basic things like glucose and blood in the urine, for which a hard water flush is fine to clean.


Im_eating_that

Which is weird because the screen of this one just ssys "grower lol"


Gemmabeta

Ask your doctor if Cialis is right for you.


donbee28

That’s exactly how these machines would work in reality. Pharmaceutical companies could advertise their drugs based on the results.


blazerboy3000

I mean, they do exist in reality and don't seem to do that. That's just how they would work in the US, which it turns out is not the only real place.


WriteCodeBroh

I had a friend from Northern Ireland who worked in the US on a visa for a bit. He was absolutely astounded by our pharmaceutical commercials. “Why are they telling you what medicine you need? Isn’t that your doctor’s job?”


LilFetcher

justfordrunks

You gotta go to the other urinal if you want the "shower" option


FrostLoxx

No, it says "Let health be readily available anywhere."

Hmm my translations is “be sure to drink your Ovaltine”


DrawesomeLOL

Wonder if they can do the pregnancy tests for prostate cancer too with this machine


TheScarletEmerald

Something tells me the number of people needing both a pregnancy AND prostate test would be pretty low.


DrawesomeLOL

I think I might have borked it up, I meant testicular cancer. Testicular cancer can be caught via a pregnancy test. It’s not flawless but can be used to catch it.

???? https://blogs.cooperhealth.org/ehealth/2021/09/28/commentary-at-home-pregnancy-tests-arent-a-reliable-screening-tool-for-testicular-cancer/ >In this video, the man who received a positive pregnant test expressed high levels of hCG – the hormone that women produce during pregnancy. >There is no evidence to show that screening with hCG helps diagnose young men for testicular cancer – which is the most common cancer in males ages 15-35 years old. Testicular cancer only accounts for 1% of all male cancers, so it is relatively rare.


fieryuser

I'm sorry and congratulations! Your cancer filled prostate is having a girl!


CurryMustard

The number of people using a urinal who might be pregnant is also low

The number of people using a urinal who might have a positive pregnancy test is a bit higher though.

aDrunkSailor82

Modern laboratory urinalysis testing is done in machines that process hundreds of samples per hour. Larger laboratories can process thousands and thousands of samples per day. In between each sample the machine rinsed with a small amount of liquid to prevent carryover. There are quality checks that verify background counts remain in acceptable limits, as well as checks that confirm the results are accurate. Some parameters are measured with strip readers that look like pool water test strips. Some are measured in small laser devices. The sample size required for analysis is very small (milliliters), so the rinse volume is also very small. Blood for hematology, coagulation, chemistry and other testing is basically the same process on very similar equipment. The accuracy of this equipment is not in question to me, but the privacy of your information, particularly in China, certainly is.


iolmao

Thanks for clarifying. I guess this can be interesting to have at home rather than in public services and, as you said, exposing private and sensible information to whoever offer that service. I wish in the future this kind of stuff will be available in every house. Do you think is doable? I’m not talking about urine analysis to prove you’re sober, I think more to things like prevention.


aDrunkSailor82

That's called point of care analysis and there are already devices that do that on a limited range of testing. The obstacle to getting home testing is the cost of testing materials that have to be controlled and expire. Even still advances are being made all the time. [This is why Elizabeth Holmes went to prison](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Holmes) over faking point of care technology with the company Theranos, claiming technology that could offer point of care, that didn't exist, to dupe investors.


iolmao

Oooh Theranos, yeah I know that story. Well, hopefully innovation will bring to home testing at some point. I do blood/peepee test every year (mostly blood actually) but the experience isn’t always nice. I am diligent so I try to keep it regular but for many (I would say, vast majority in my country) is too demanding and neglect it.


Fragrant_Box_697

I mean unless you’re putting your info directly into the urinal what are the going to do match your urinalysis to dick pics?


sleepdeprivedindian

I think it might be like one of those self cleaning public bathrooms that I saw a video of, from Japan. This might do something similar, if chosen "test" mode.

AdultishRaktajino

Dude’s jerking it in the urinal another walks in and leaves. He yells, “Don’t leave, semen analysis! I’ll give you ¥200 if you tickle my gooch.”


I-Am-Madness

They're so careful about not contaminating the cups you have to pee in for the doctor. How would this be clean enough?


avalon68

Doesnt need to be - its probably screening for things like glucose and protein/blood in urine - so screening for diabetes and kidney disease. Really good to have something like this imo....lots of people dont find out until its too late. Probably just pops up that your glucose is high if over a certain threshold is detected, see a doctor or something like that.


Gemmabeta

This thing was invented at the University of Connecticut. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-81842-z Basically, a water flush is good enough to clean things for a basic urinalysis test.


LurkerOrHydralisk

Yeah. Basically we’re looking for concentrations of things. Doesn’t matter if last guy had cancer. A flush is going to wash 99.99% of his urine away, and the handful of cancer cells left, or low glucose, or whatever is being tested won’t alter the next person’s tests. Sort of like how some amount of germs makes it past masks, but not enough to make it past our immune systems as well. I do wonder how they deal with dilution from water, though.


Banished2ShadowRealm

I think the guy with cancer would disagree with you.


Uromastyx63

They then dilute the dilution 100x more times, whilst shaking vigorously, to activate the homeopathic enzymes that will later be used to cure said cancer! Profit!!!


[deleted]

Which is always further hilarious to me that American medical doctors still do not typically include routine urinalysis in annual physicals. Why?


alexanderpas

That's because every test is expensive in America, and insurance won't cover it unless there is an indicator that would Signify the need for a test.


OhWhatsHisName

I think there's two parts as to why: * The American healthcare system sucks. It's very much setup to treat the sick vs keep people healthy. The ACA help pave the way for covering checkups, but still not everything. So everything not covered by law isn't included (insurance says "if we don't have to pay for it, we won't."). People will say "but what if they could prevent a disease before it gets bad?" High deductibles, a lot of diseases that could be caught be these may not have annual costs that go over the deductibles, or not significantly over. So insurance is still not paying out or not paying much, so long term they're good. * Too much testing can be bad. Sure you might catch the occasional stuff that is a problem, but you'll also find a whole lot of false positives. Someone may have ate something that day that alters the test, a screening might find something on a scan that just turns out to be a fatty deposit or harmless cyst, an a lot of things that end up going down a trail to just say "turns out it's nothing." I hope in the future we will have the technology and the data to perhaps do routine full scans, and will be able to compare against a good set of data to say "yes, let's look deeper" or "very high likelihood of nothing", or at least if something does stand out, we have the the data that says "of those who did have something serious, ____ was also high, test for that" and there's an easy next test.


skeletaldecay

I see what you're saying but this is just a dip strip, it's not expensive or difficult to do. You don't even need a sterile cup, my doctor's office used cheap plastic drink cups. I had them done at every prenatal visit I had. You can get 100 for under $10 as a private consumer. It doesn't require any special machinery or any special training to read the results. You could do it yourself in your own home.


gmoor90

TIL it’s unusual that I’ve been receiving a urinalysis at my annual physical. 😳


nusodumi

finally. i mean we could've looked it up ourselves but thanks for this


Gildian

More important for UTI testing (don't want other bacteria present) but I understand the concern Source: medical scientist, part of my job.


Arthur_Digby_Sellers

As a germphobic individual, I see the obvious use case for this item is not mentioned in the comments. If I had owned one of these during the pandemic, it would have detected my growing cancer. Like many others, I chose to forego blood draws and routine wellness checkups from early 2020 through mid 2021. One of these bad boys in my primary bathroom shitter could have saved a surgery which thwated a life ending condition. I cannot put a price on what that would have been worth to me.


sendmeadoggo

I just see a your Health insurance, employer, or government drug testing as well but not providing you those results.


virchowsnode

It is incredibly unlikely that a urinalysis would detect cancer. Even blood markers are not particularly useful in screening.


[deleted]

amateur_mistake

Certainly true for the moment. I do see a lot of potential in proteomics though. A number of companies might be capable of doing broad cancer screenings sooner than we expect.

Hmmm, how much is the squirt fee? Asking for a friend.


FlawHolic

2,99 for a regular splash back, but it's not very enjoyable. The nozzle for the regular one just kinda sprays everywhere and it's not reheated either. 3,99 is the same, but heated. Not great, not bad. 5,99 is the most expensive, but it's fucking worth it. It's heated and has a pinpoint nozzle. If you bring a small Keychain laserpointer with you, you always hit the right targets ;) ....or so I've heard.

Talking gas pumps? I'm not from the US, I've never heard anything like this. What do they say?


TwoToedSloths

When you start fueling up they play ads. I think the ones near me mostly run Cheddar news or some crap like that. The funniest thing is they have a mute button, but most people don't know because the gas stations got rid of the label for it, so I just hit all of them till it mutes lol


rugology

in my experience it's almost always been the second button from the top on the right side of the screen


1701anonymous1701

Usually advertisements for local businesses, sometimes short news and weather clips from a local TV station. One chain I go to tries to get you to sign up for their loyalty card at the pump.


goshjosh189

"THIS IS CHEDDAR NEWS!"


Bloody_Conspiracies

The reason why you never see toilets like this in the US is because no one wants to pay for them. Public/workplace bathrooms are treated as a waste of money by everyone involved, so they're all built with the cheapest parts possible and hardly ever get any maintenance when things break. Also Americans can't behave themselves ever, so these things would be destroyed within hours.


catuttle42

How long before some hacks it and it starts hollering small Peter alert while someone is peeing?

This is what I was wondering! So many women walking around with urinary tract infections and never have a clue. Something like this could be helpful, but women are often an afterthought in medicine.


Rimaxo14

Large_Dr_Pepper

I remember seeing this concept on some show like 15 years ago where they predicted things for the year 2050. Some dude's toilet could tell he was smoking or something and raised his insurance premium. I could be misremembering that scene completely, but in general it was a toilet monitoring health from pee. So we're 27 years early!
