Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel toilet seat with an integrated body fat scale, which is additionally equipped with a viewing window in the front area. This innovative product serves to combine everyday hygiene and health monitoring in order to support users in their physical self-monitoring and general health promotion.
[0002] Technical features: 1. Body fat scale integration: The toilet seat is equipped with sensors that allow for the measurement of body fat percentage, muscle mass, water content, and bone mass. The sensors are strategically positioned in the seat surface to ensure accurate measurements during normal use of the toilet seat. 2. Additional viewing window: The front of the toilet seat features a viewing window that displays relevant information, such as current readings or status messages, in real time. This window is made of a robust and easy-to-clean material. 3. Connection options: The toilet seat features wireless connectivity (Bluetooth / Wi-Fi) to transmit measured data to a companion app. The app offers analysis functions, personalized recommendations, and integration with other healthcare ecosystems. 4. Advanced health features: In addition to body fat analysis, the device can measure blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation. This data is also recorded via sensors in the seat. 5. User identification: The toilet seat is equipped with user recognition, which makes it possible to save and retrieve individual health profiles. This is achieved through weight detection and biometric data. 6. Energy supply: The device is powered either by a rechargeable battery or a direct power supply. The power supply is integrated safely and is waterproof. Areas of application:
[0003] This product is suitable for use in private households as well as in facilities such as gyms, hospitals or retirement homes.
[0004] It offers a practical solution for monitoring physical health without additional time expenditure. An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described using the following: Fig. 1 to 5 explained.
