Was it dark or light brown? You might find these questions uncomfortable. Yet the wastes our bodies shed can say a lot about our health. And it is hard to remember past poops and pees well enough to describe to doctors. There􀆳s something in those wastes not visible to the eye. But smart toilets can help. Scientists hope that one day such toilets will be able to diagnose cancer and viruses. But that􀆳s for the future. The smart toilet being developed at Stanford University can take pictures of your feces,track how often you go and measure how long each poop takes. It also can measure the number of white blood cells and types of protein in urine(尿), which could indicate an infection of the urinary tract or bladder. The data will move through the Internet to a secure computer. An artificial-intelligence program then will assess the data. If it finds a problem,the program can notify a patient􀆳s doctor. But how will the toilet know who is on the seat? Seung-min Park,a biomedical engineer on the project,and his team use a scanner to image the butt. The user just sits down on the seat. An image of the butt will later be used to identify data obtained from that person􀆳s toilet visit. However,potential users may not want to have a camera underneath their butts,Park says. So on the next model, his team will replace the camera with an infrared or laser scanner. Scanning one􀆳s privates is hardly the only privacy issue with smart toilets. The data could be misused by insurance companies or others. And some toilets might one day be able to test your DNA,containing details you don􀆳t want to share with① anyone. Park appreciates such privacy concerns. However,he also thinks the benefits may outweigh the risks. “The more you expose your privacy,” he believes, “ the better the health care. ” 1. What d
