Abstract
Described is a method to detect an analyte in an analytical toilet that includes the steps of receiving excreta in a bowl, transporting a measured sample of the excreta through a passage and bringing the sample into contact with a sensor. The sensor comprises a FET configured to interact with an analyte in the excreta. When the sample is brought into contact with the sensor, the sensor indicates the presence of the analyte by a distinct electric signal.
Claims20
A method to detect an analyte in an analytical toilet comprising:
- receiving excreta in a bowl;
- transporting a measured sample of the excreta through a passage;
- and
- bringing the sample into contact with a sensor;
- wherein the sensor comprises a FET configured to interact with an analyte in the excreta;
- and
- wherein, when the sample is brought into contact with the sensor, the sensor indicates the presence of the analyte by a distinct electric signal.
The method of claim Error! Reference source not found, wherein the statistical data is used to generate individual trend data over time of the analyte in the excreta of a particular user.
