What can we determine from a bathroom visit about our health? In her Talk, Eva will present how sensor technology can make our toilet smart - and how personalized data can result in your personal at home doctor and food advisor all in one.
What if you could improve your health by analyzing and monitoring from your toilet? Many diseases are reliant on what you eat and drink. Diabetes for instance, but also cardiovascular and chronic lung diseases. Measuring what we consume is already a challenge, but measuring what comes out might be just as-if not more insightful. Therefore, Eva sets out to see how we can use state-of-the-art technology to measure several indicators when you sit down on the toilet. We all visit the bathroom, so it’s easy and it would reduce the need for complicated measurements and wearables.
