Non-contact measuring method and utilization of urination data

Abstract

We developed both a non-contact urination measuring system as a toilet sheet shape and a cloud network system to store and to utilize the urination data for diagnosis or nursing care. The measuring system consists of a non-contact thermal sensor, a vibration sensor, and wireless communication. Urination is measured by the non-contact thermal sensor. Personal identification is achieved by walking vibration. These data are transmitted via Wi-Fi and a mobile virtual network operator, and are stored in one database. The urination data is displayed on a tablet PC. This study was partly supported by SCOPE (162305003), Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications.
