Well, the FDA has cleared a Smart Toilet seat for heart health monitoring. The Casana toilet seat, for use in a home environment, will measure heart rate, oxygen saturation and fecal screening in adults at least 22 years of age weighing 90 to 350 pounds. Using sensors embedded in the toilet seat, the device is able to measure these vital signs and send the data automatically to the Casana Cloud. From there, a designated health care provider is able to view the data generated from the 3 sensors. Results from a study that evaluated the accuracy of the seat showed that it was able to consistently measure blood pressure, stroke volume, and blood oxygenation when compared with a hospital-grade vital signs monitor.
