Future toilets can help diagnose cancer, diabetes

Experts at the European Space Agency (ESA) and MIT are working together to create a 'high-tech' toilet called Fitloo.

This high-tech toilets are capable of monitoring the user's blood sugar levels to detect early signs of disease with special sensors.

Not only that, sensors in public toilets also allow health agencies to predict the spread of the disease.

Future toilets will be 'smarter' with the ability to alert diseases.

The mechanism of operation of the high-tech toilet FitLoo is to screen the urine of the user to detect abnormal biochemical signs for early warning of cancer or diabetes.

FitLoo will even be used by astronauts to monitor health on the ISS international space station.

Experts say that, with new types of toilets, people have a great opportunity to control their health. Currently, most of us only go to the doctor when we find abnormal signs of the body. But soon, high-tech toilets will help us keep track of our daily health.

In fact, smart toilets have been a number of national applications. For example, Japan has smart toilets with features such as warm water jerks, dryers and heated seats.

The device is used on the international space station ISS capable of urine analysis of astronauts being tested.

Or toilet companies like Toto and Matsushita have produced WiFi-connected toilets to measure body mass, biochemistry, protein, flow rate and urine temperature.

Scientists at Stanford University have also developed color-changing paper testing with the help of a smart camera that can detect disease or detect signs of urinary tract infection.

Currently, ESA and MIT are currently seeking partners who are toilet production companies for mass production.

Davide Coppola, project director of the project at ESA, said: 'We identified opportunities to use space technology in combination with data from smart toilets. One of them is to establish a preventive health information system on Earth.

If you have 1,000 smart toilets that track some common diseases in one area, you can use data combined with data from extraterrestrial data to calculate the possibility of disease spread '.
