Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described for use with a bodily emission of a subject that is disposed within a toilet bowl. One or more light sensors are configured to receive light from the toilet bowl, while the bodily emission is disposed within the toilet bowl. A computer processor detects one or more spectral components that are characteristic spectral components at which white blood cells emit fluorescent light, by analyzing the received light, and in response thereto, determines that there is a presence of white blood cells within the bodily emission. Other applications are also described.
Claims13
An apparatus for use with a bodily emission of a subject that is disposed within a toilet bowl, and an output device, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more light sensors that are configured to receive light from the toilet bowl, while the bodily emission is disposed within the toilet bowl;
- and
- a computer processor configured to:
- detect one or more spectral components that are characteristic spectral components at which white blood cells emit fluorescent light, by analyzing the received light;
- in response thereto, determine that there is a presence of white blood cells within the bodily emission;
- and
- generate an output on the output device, at least partially in response thereto.
A method for use with a bodily emission of a subject that is disposed within a toilet bowl, the method comprising:
- receiving light from the toilet bowl using one or more light sensors, while the bodily emission is disposed within the toilet bowl;
- and
- using a computer processor:
- detecting one or more spectral components that are characteristic spectral components at which white blood cells emit fluorescent light, by analyzing the received light;
- in response thereto, determining that there is a presence of white blood cells within the bodily emission;
- and
- generating an output on an output device, at least partially in response thereto.
