Connected toilets to monitor waste and deliver insights
Connected toilets that have the ability to locally take waste samples from a variety of individuals and deliver them novel insights into their health.
As real-time monitoring becomes more mainstream (from things like the Apple Watch to Levels) we believe that a large amount of useful data sits within human waste (from urine to stool to blood samples). The burden often for gathering this data and providing insights to the user is often quite high, meaning that “passive” forms of collection could prove to be very valuable.
We believe a team that builds ability to gather samples locally and provide analysis will be able to unlock a variety of insights today and over time on a preventative and proactive health basis.
