You seeing this asshole? - Standford University identifies Butts for biometrics

With a Camera on the toilet, it can identify and associate an "anal print" with your fingerprint as everyone's butt are unique.

If you're looking for very, very personalized data about your bathroom habits, look no further. Scientists at Stanford University have developed a smart toilet that can identify people based on their butt and monitor the health of their poop and pee. The smart toilet, which the Stanford team published an article about this week in Nature Biomedical Engineering, was designed as a continuous health monitoring device, like a smart watch. It uses cameras and motion sensors to identify "a range of disease markers in stool and urine," including colon cancer and prostate cancer. "When I'd bring it up, people would sort of laugh because it seemed like an interesting idea, but also a bit odd," lead researcher Sanjiv Gambhir said in a press release. "Everyone uses the bathroom — there's really no avoiding it — and that enhances its value as a disease-detecting device." It also has a built-in identification system. The smart toilet's flush lever is equipped a fingerprint reader, and cameras in the toilet bowl can identify people's butts. "We know it seems weird, but as it turns out, your anal print is unique," Gambhir said. The toilet's still in early stages and isn't meant to replace a doctor or diagnosis, but rather to alert users to red flags that could warrant medical attention. Here's how it works.

The smart toilet uses multiple pressure and motion sensors to detect when someone's about to use it, and identifies them with biometrics.

The toilet then sends the data it collects to a cloud server.

"The smart toilet is the perfect way to harness a source of data that's typically ignored — and the user doesn't have to do anything differently," Gambhir said. 

Stool samples are recorded on video and analyzed by algorithms that identify abnormal stool consistencies.

Urine is also analyzed by algorithms that monitor "flow rate, stream time and total volume."

So far, the toilet has been tested on 21 participants. Stanford researchers also surveyed 300 prospective participants, and 52% said they were at least somewhat comfortable with the idea.

"To fully reap the benefits of the smart toilet, users must make their peace with a camera that scans their anus," Stanford's press release says.

Thoughts: It's like those overused jokes kids use in school but I suppose people will do anything when it comes to health.

U what mate?

Remember this kids, The very same muscle tissue of your lips is the exact same tissue of your dark hole man cover. 

 

And for those who value there privacy too much, stick your head in and pucker up those lips and see the results you get.

Speaking that it’s just going off of photos, I’m pretty sure this is stanford just trying to look at Uranus.

I can see Wal-Mart rushing to get these installed for "Biometric" (Targeted advertisement) purposes.
You really want one of those annoying ad thingys on the end cap screaming at you about a product called "Anal-Ez" or something?

 

I mean REALLY..... What a load of sh!t this is gonna be.

Yea but why..

Umm no.... Ill pass.

If this becomes mainstream, please note I'll be putting a bullet through that camera before I do my business (that or I will hold it till I get home).

Is this an April Stools joke?

This sounds like something Sir Mix-A-Lot would use in a music video.

I guess the alternative is the Doctor directly pushing his hand right in to examine your intestines.

One doctor (and maybe a nurse) and his thumb versus the possibility of the footage being hacked onto the internet for public viewing yeah I'll take the former.

This is wrong on so many levels...

It looks happy today. Could I recommend this AmazonBasics anus bowtie and monocle?

Imagine, the Alexa A-Hole, a smart toilet with Alexa built-in.

And then Google is going to come in.

I can't wait for realtors to have a board of Alexa-integrated homes and another for Google Home homes.

You ca mount a Blink Mini to the toilet bowl and voila! An Alexa smart toilet. It's almost as if Amazon released it just for this

[mr moose]

Has any one made a ring camera joke yet?

[Dylanc1500]

Sounds like a great thing for dating websites. I can only imagine how they will utilize it. "Hey! this person is a match with your anus profile!"

[Beerzerker]

One day.....

Somewhere in some high-level security gov lab you'll turn around and drop 'em, then sit on the laser scanner to get your butt scanned. 
Then you'll have to clean off the glass for the next person to get theirs scanned too.

I can see one of those little reminder signs saying:

"Don't forget: Be nice and wipe the glass for the next ass".

Someone is punking the government for a taxpayer funded study.

 

The real assholes are the ones that approve of this, not the ones that arrive at the toilet.
