The name of the small toilet sensor is U-Scan, or if you prefer “urin scanner”. It has small dimensions and can be hooked to the vase without any problem. The appearance of the scanner in the photos is very reminiscent of an air freshener or disinfectant attached to the object’s wall.

What is the use of urine sensor for toilet bowl

As explained by the company, the sensor is able to carry out a “laboratory” analysis on urine while it is connected to the toilet. In this way, it is possible to identify if there is any health change in the person who is using the toilet at the moment. That is, to make a preliminary diagnosis, the person would no longer need to carry a jar with them urine to the laboratory.

The urine reader is individual and recognizes its owner

Another interesting fact is that the device can only be used by one person. This is because it is able to recognize who owns it. That way, if someone else uses the bathroom, your urine reading won’t be taken.

The cartridges that distinguish between urine and other liquids are disposable, but can be used to run 100 tests. The device still has a pair of gloves accompanying it so that the cartridges can be changed.

What will be the use?

Initially, the utility of U-Scan will be geared towards providing data on the fertility and nutrition of people who use it. Women will know when they are in their fertile period, for example.

The scan results are sent to aa app number that the owner of the device must have on hand.
