Technology has played a major role in China's fight against COVID-19, especially when the country hosts the 2022 Winter Olympics. Smart mobile toilets have been a key feature of the Olympics' closed-loop system, and Beijing 2022 organizers say they play an important role in preventing COVID-19. The entire system can be operated with just a wave of your hand, without touching anything. After the user leaves, the internal disinfection nozzle automatically disinfects the entire space, reducing the risk of cross-infection. In addition, the water supply and drainage system is equipped with a closed-loop disinfection device to cut off the fecal-oral transmission chain. Meng Jianmin, academician and designer of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said: "Compared with traditional toilets, this smart toilet is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly. In terms of green energy, it saves electricity, water, land, and water. Other resources. We try to use the least amount of energy. materials, electricity and water to reflect or promote environmental awareness.” Meng said it is the first such product in the world because it can be used indoors. He said he believes the product will soon go global as more parts of the world pursue low-carbon infrastructure.

During the difficult COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are looking for new ways to save money. You may feel like you've exhausted all your cost-saving strategies, but have you tried to minimize your toilet paper budget? While the cost of a toilet paper pack may not seem high, it can add up over time. Washloo's team analysed the cost of toilet paper in the "big four" supermarkets and popular toilet paper brands, and their research found that the average cost of 3-ply toilet paper a year for a family of four was around £274.32. By comparison, however, a smart toilet, where the user flushes with water after using the toilet, costs just £4.46 a year for one person and £17.84 for four. Using a smart toilet makes toilet paper unnecessary and eliminates the cost entirely, saving families around £256.48 a year. And according to research, it takes about 37 gallons of water to produce a roll of toilet paper, and only one-eighth of a gallon of water is needed for each smart toilet flush. Using a smart toilet can help your family save money every year by eliminating the cost of fixing paper without changing the comfort of your everyday bathroom.

Delaying going to the toilet can be very bad for your bladder. If you're constantly waiting to go to the bathroom, your muscles may weaken later in life, or more directly, it could lead to urinary tract infections. Many people may resist going to the toilet if they wake up at night and want to. The average adult's bladder can hold two cups of urine, which can take up to 10 hours. When your bladder is about a quarter full, it sends a message to your brain to give you a little buffer if you wake up at night. However, if left for too long, harmful bacteria can build up, which can lead to urinary tract infections. If a UTI goes untreated and the infection spreads, it can turn into life-threatening sepsis. Prolonged neglect of the bladder can also wreak havoc on the pelvic floor, leading to uncomfortable dryness (urogenital atrophy) and incontinence of involuntary urination. Likewise, holding your urine too often can cause your bladder muscles to lose their ability to contract when you need them, leading to urinary retention, where you can't empty your bladder -- even when you want to.

Researchers at Duke University are developing a smart toilet to help gastroenterologists diagnose chronic digestive problems in patients. Sonia Grego, Ph.D., associate research professor at Duke University, is one of the researchers in the Smart Toilet Lab at Duke's Center for Water, Sanitation, and Infectious Diseases. "I'm working on a toilet. Of course, my friends and family laugh at it. That's where I focus," Dr. Grego said. But Grego's time wasn't wasted. Gastroenterologists often rely on patient reports to help diagnose chronic digestive problems. That's why Dr. Grego and Duke University are developing smart toilets. Eliminate the need for patients to self-monitor and report their bowel movements. Dr Grego said the smart toilet is made up of artificial intelligence. Every time a patient goes to the bathroom, the technology takes a picture of the patient's stool as it passes through the sewage system. Data is collected with each refresh, the AI analyzes it, and the technology can then tell what's normal and what's abnormal. "All of this imaging doesn't happen in the bathroom. It happens in the plumbing," explained Dr. Grego, "for privacy, not to make anyone uncomfortable.” Dr Grego said a smart toilet won't change a person's experience in the bathroom. They have to be flushed and technology does the rest. The results can be populated on a mobile phone app that can be shared with doctors. If multiple people use the toilet, she said a fingerprint scanner could be installed on the toilet stem to distinguish who is using the toilet at the time. Smart toilets are still in development. Dr. Grego expects the prototype to be available for testing within the next year to a year and a half. After that, commercial use will become available.

"Heart seat" may look like a regular toilet seat, but it may one day save lives. The seat is able to capture 3 vital signs blood pressure heart rate and oxygen saturation," said Alina Fowler, clinical research coordinator from Casana. Technology in the seat can track a person's vital signs on a daily basis, which is an easy way for older adults to monitor their heart health at home, she said. "With the pandemic and everything -- focusing on what we can do at home to help health care without going to the doctor's office is becoming a bigger concern," Fowler said. "The toilet seems to be the best place for everyone to use it, regardless of their status. One thing we can count on everyone to do every day is go to the toilet," Fowler said. “Our residents are obviously mobile and independent, but it’s also very important to be at home when needed. Some of our residents don’t have family nearby, so being able to provide services on our campus is a positive for us, said Susan Bussey, senior vice president of housing at Jewish Senior Life. Data collected from the seat is uploaded to the cloud, which can then be shared with doctors or family members. The 'heart seat' is still awaiting FDA approval.
