GIZMAG - Techy Toilet Seat
"I think it is a
great idea," tweeted a thoughtful and inspired POTUS. "I do a lot of
thinking when I am sitting on my toilet seat. I think it'd be great if the
toilet could monitor my brain waves and work out how my brain works: it would
provide science with a stream of exciting data into the Mind of a Great Man
called Donald Trump via his Bottom. I love you, America! Defecate in peace!"
In the
not-too-distant future, when congestive heart failure patients are being
released from hospital, they may be given a special toilet seat to take home.
That device would measure their vital signs every time they sit on it, sending
alerts if more heart trouble were detected.
Developed by a team at the Rochester Institute of Technology,
the seat is equipped with an electrocardiogram, ballistocardiogram, and a
photoplethysmogram. These allow it measure the patient's heart rate, blood
pressure, blood oxygenation levels, body weight and stroke volume, which is the
amount of blood that the heart pumps out with each beat.

Special algorithms
analyze all that data, and determine if the patient's condition is
deteriorating – a diagnosis can be made even before the patient develops any
noticeable symptoms.

it. It may become a compulsion, I think it's called, whereby I log on and check
what my Favourite Cow is doing 50 times a day... My wife might become jealous
of Daisy. Daisy is the cow," explains Mr David Jones, a farmer in mid-Wales.
"I might fall in love with Daisy. She's so beautiful. Karen, my wife, says
that I'm already in love with Trevor, and is jealous of Trevor. It's all making
my personal life more and more stressful. I can't cope any more."
"And Trevor
is?" asks the confused BBC Wales journalist, Miss Prunella
Twinky-Knickers, blushing slightly.
"Trevor? He's a
very handsome sheep and we've been in a very close relationship for the past 4
years. Trevor is the love of..."
"That's all we have
time for, I am afraid, and back to you in the studio in Cardiff!" shrieks
Miss Prunella Twinky-Knickers in a panic.
"Prunella, thank
you for this fantastic report from happy, lively, rural Wales," says Mr
David Jones [no relation] in the Cardiff studio. "Onto another story of
interest in North Wales: a flock of geese has escaped from a farm on Anglesey
and its owner, farmer David Jones, has..."
