Abstract:
A urine collecting and analyzing apparatus that mounts on a toilet. The apparatus has a housing that mounts to or is integrated into the rim of the toilet bowl and has an opening for access to the bowl. The housing has a collector compartment and a controller compartment. A collector cup fits under the collector compartment extends over the bowl in a retracted position and in a collecting position. When in the collecting position, the cup captures urine released by a user. The cup is connected to a measurement chamber by a transfer tube. The urine moves through the transfer tube from the cup to the measurement chamber to a predetermined threshold volume and level. A controller in the controller compartment reads sensors and transmits sensor data to a device for storage and display.
