Results are in! Our sensor-equipped Smart Toilet with the capability to automatically track stool appearance and bowel habit patterns was piloted in three private homes and used by four individuals.
The Coprata Smart Toilet was used for between 2 to 6 months, illustrating the convenience of operation. Coprata analyzed the data in collaboration with GI experts at the University of Michigan and our advisor Dr. Sameer Berry. Our results were accepted for presentation at Digestive Disease Week 2024, the leading US gastroenterology conference. “Novel Automated Smart Toilet Allows Objective Longitudinal Assessment of Bowel Movements-Preliminary, Home-Based Experience”.

This pilot study demonstrated that our technology is a powerful tool that can enable clinicians to more objectively measure bowel habit characteristics.
