Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described including one or more sensors that are coupled to a toilet bowl, and that are configured to detect one or more parameters relating to a subject's bodily emission. A computer processor receives the one or more parameters relating to the subject's bodily emission from the one or more sensors, derives a concentration of a pterin and/or a pterin derivative within the subject’s bodily emission, and determines a level of inflammation of the subject, at least partially in response thereto. Other applications are also described.
Claims22
An apparatus for use with a bodily emission of the subject, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more sensors that are coupled to a toilet bowl, and that are configured to detect one or more parameters relating to the subject's bodily emission;
- and
- at least one computer processor configured to:
- receive the one or more parameters relating to the subject's bodily emission from the one or more sensors,
- derive a concentration of an entity within the subject’s bodily emission selected from the group consisting of:
- a pterin and a pterin derivative, and
- determine a level of inflammation of the subject, at least partially in response thereto.
A method for use with a bodily emission of the subject, the method comprising:
- using at least one computer processor:
- receiving the one or more parameters relating to the subject's bodily emission from one or more light sensors that are coupled to a toilet bowl,
- deriving a concentration of a pterin and/or a pterin derivative within the subject’s bodily emission, and
- determining a level of inflammation of the subject, at least partially in response thereto.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more sensors that are coupled to a toilet bowl, and that are configured to detect one or more urine-related parameters relating to a subject's urine;
- and
- at least one computer processor configured to:
- receive the one or more urine-related parameters from the one or more sensors,
- determine that a concentration of creatinine within the subject’s urine is elevated,
- derive a concentration of one or more additional entities within the subject’s urine, and
- determine that a likely cause of the elevated creatinine concentration is catabolic processes at least partially in response to deriving the concentration of the one or more additional entities within the subject’s urine.
