    This is the start of something wonderful. Think years down the line when we have health scanners for toothbrushing, showering, and toilet use all with accurate health wcans to detect health issues early.
    Obviously we need to make sure privacy is secures and all that, but the principal will be life savings. Imagine detecting diabetes or cancer way in advance!

      imagine when this communicates with your health insurer automatically, so when the device senses cancer your insurer will automatically be notified even before you exit the bathroom and immediately cancels your insurance. If this device is made in China then they will know too

    Single use only per cartridge, right? Looks like they are using the classical colorimetric paper strips (see 1:20) you can get in the pharmacy, just placed in the ring and read internally with an optical sensor. If so, would have to change that cartridge after one use.

    I've been a lab tech for 22 years. The amount of things that can go wrong with colorimetric assays is enormous. You can eat or drink the wrong color or chemistry of something, and it throws off your results. Good luck to all who'll go to the emergency room or urgent care in a panic because of what these at-home tests tell them. It's job security for us in healthcare.
