These Three Toilets Detection Health Technologies Will Be Clinically Tested In The US, Israel And Japan

Israeli digital health startup OutSense has been awarded a number of patents for key innovations in IoT technology, according to foreign media reports on 23 June. The technology gains life-saving medical insights by analysing human excrement. Lub tuam txhab tau ua ntaub ntawv ntau ntawm peb patents npog cov ntsiab lus ntawm nws cov chav dej kho mob sensor.

Three Toilets Detection Health Technologies

The first OutSense toilets detection health technologies is for the detection of blood hidden in the toilet bowl. This OutSense device uses reflected light from the toilet to determine the optical signature of hidden blood in faeces. Patents for this technology have been granted in the US, Teb chaws Europe, Nyiv thiab Tuam Tshoj.

A second toilets detection health technologies has been granted in Europe and applications for this patent are pending in other countries. It allows effective analysis of the many components of faeces and the spatial distribution of blood traces. On the basis of this analysis, OutSense's thev naus laus zis tuaj yeem txheeb xyuas qhov chaw ntawm cov ntshav nyob rau hauv txoj hnyuv.

A third patent is pending for a technology that detects the dehydrated composition of urine through the analysis of urine and faeces.

Raws li OutSense CEO Yfat Scialom, who predicts that “nrog kev tawg ntawm cov tshuaj digital, this kind of monitoring will become the norm”, OutSense says that the technology already approved and pending approval will provide broad protection for a person’s health by non-invasively extracting faeces and hidden blood from the urine. Hidden blood is essential for detecting colorectal cancer, inflammatory plob tsis so tswj kab mob thiab urinary kab mob.

Its solution consists of a multispectral optical sensor, lub teeb ci thiab ib qho khoom siv tshuaj ntsuam xyuas tus kheej uas suav nrog kev sib txuas WiFi. The device scans human excrement, identifies the optical footprint of faecal and urine components, sends the data to an AI-based cloud analysis and then provides indications of various diseases with great precision.

OutSense has developed tools to diagnose abnormalities in human excreta. Cov ntaub ntawv tau txais los ntawm cov ntshav kuaj, ua ke nrog kev soj ntsuam ntxiv ntawm lub sij hawm los ntshav mus rau excretion, muab cov ntsiab lus ntawm cov ntshav pathology. Its specific patterns can determine whether the bleeding is from a fissure or haemorrhoid, from a polyp, a tumour or from an ulcer.

At the beginning of June, OutSense tshaj tawm tias CommuniCare, ib lub tuam txhab kho mob loj nrog ntau tshaj 90 healthcare facilities in the US, yuav pib piloting nws technology xyoo no. Ntxiv rau tus tsav no, OutSense also plans to conduct clinical trials in Israel and Japan.
