System and method for analyzing urine and fecal matter

Abstract

A miniaturized monitoring device may include electronic circuitry, a housing, and a communication protocol. The device may be a robust sensing device that can accurately quantify electrolyte content and send continuously from within faeces or urine or other human bodily fluids and/or solid samples. The device may be fully submerged in a test sample, which may be in a container, ostomy bag, or other article.

Description

[0001] Incorporate any priority application by reference [0002] Any and all applications of foreign or domestic priority identified in the Application Data Sheet filed with this application are hereby incorporated by reference with reference to 37 CFR 1.57. This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 912,527, filed on October 8, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference and constitute a part of this specification. Background technique [0003] Metabolism and / or digestion of food produces waste products such as water, salts, urea, uric acid, solid and / or semi-solid wastes and / or other wastes. The accumulation of these wastes can be harmful to the human body. The body can excrete waste products, such as in the form of urine and feces. [0004] Currently, electrolyte analysis of human fluid samples utilizes flame emission photometers (FEP) or more ion selective electrodes (ISE). However, current methods need t...
