Systems, devices, and methods for monitoring loads and forces on a seat

Abstract

Abstract Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring physiological data of subjects seated on a toilet, including systems, devices, and methods for monitoring loads and forces on a toilet seat. In some embodiments, systems, devices, and methods disclosed herein include a ring defining an opening for receiving waste therethrough and including a set of supports, the ring configured to be coupled to a base of a waste receptacle such that the set of supports are configured to engage a surface of the base, the ring including a first set of sensors including a sensor disposed at each support from the set of supports; and a coupler configured to couple the ring to the base, the coupler including a platform and a second set of sensors disposed adjacent to the platform, the first and second sets of sensors configured to measure total forces present on the ring when the ring is coupled to the base and a subject is seated on a surface of the ring.
