The Value of Pee

GP Toilet is a pathology-enabled toilet system that analyzes your urine and gives you a detailed diagnostic report on it. It works pretty simple, when you need an analysis done; a nozzle sprouts out and takes samples while you do your job. A quick investigation and the reports are displayed onto the integrated screen. I see the value of such toilet bowls in hospitals and homes where frequent monitoring is required on a weekly, if not daily basis.

A non-invasive and unobtrusive design as this is more appealing for patients who have to deal with repeated testing. My only concern is the integrated display; a suitable refinement will be if there is a system where the results can be synced to the mobile phone or a computer. What do you think?
