Future AI Toilets To Scan Poop

I think if someone spent thousands of Pounds on a high tech toilet to analyse every wee or poo that they did, it would say, "Beep! You're a hypochondriac." (Because a talking computer always starts off with a "Beep!" It's the equivalent of politely clearing its throat.)

It's a clever idea, but not without its risks. It must surely be less accurate than a test where the urine or stool is tested in isolation, rather than in an open pan of mixed water, urine, stool, toilet paper, and the residue of cleaning products. Presumably it would only say, "Seek advice from your doctor," rather than giving you a straight forward diagnosis. Most people would prefer to be told by a doctor rather than a digital display on their bog if they had bowel cancer.

But perhaps the technology could be applied to the humble "chamber pot" — because it would have a better bedside manner. K'boom tish!
 
Of course you realize, the true application of this would be targeted advertising . . .

"Redeem this coupon for fifty cents off your next purchase of frozen corn!"
"Tuesday is two-for-one at Pepe's Burrito Shack!"
"Sunsweet prune juice! Good and good for you!"
etc. etc.
