# Wizz-Analyzing Thrones The General Practitioner Toilet Gives a Check Up from Home By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-05-08 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-practitioner-toilet References: [huffingtonpost](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/07/high-tech-toilet-takes-urine-sample_n_1479348.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003) & [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/05/04/the-value-of-pee/) Forget going to your family doctor to find out what ails you, because the General Practitioner Toilet can give you a [full-body checkup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuralogix-longevity-mirror) based on the urine that you would normally flush away without a thought. The awkward experience of peeing in a cup in a cold and crowded office while the nurse waits on your results could be a thing of the past if these MD-esque waste basins hit the mainstream. Designed by Lucy Jung, the toilet has an [internal nozzle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-urinal-design) which takes a small sampling of your business and does a few [routine tests on it](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-home-uti-test). Once the machine does a once-over of the sample, the results appear on a screen that rests behind the seat to let the Tinkle King or Queen know how healthy they are in the comfort of their own home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **At-home Health Monitoring:** The General Practitioner Toilet offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for at-home health monitoring by providing a full-body checkup based on urine samples. - **Personalized Healthcare:** The General Practitioner Toilet presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in personalized healthcare as it provides individualized health results and recommendations. - **Smart Toilets:** The General Practitioner Toilet is part of a trend towards smart toilets that incorporate technology for improved health monitoring and diagnostics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare Technology:** The General Practitioner Toilet can disrupt the healthcare technology industry by introducing a new way of monitoring health at home. - **Home Diagnostics:** The General Practitioner Toilet offers a disruptive innovation opportunity in the home diagnostics industry by providing a convenient and private method of health checkups. - **Smart Home:** The General Practitioner Toilet aligns with the smart home industry trend, combining technology and everyday appliances for improved functionality and convenience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Health-Tracking Toilet Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shanmu-s1.md) - [Toilet Tablet Health Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urify1.md) - [Toilet Health Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dekoda-camera.md) - [Smart Monitoring Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vovo-neo.md) - [Non-Invasive Urine Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/u-scan.md) - [Pebble-Shaped Urine Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uscan.md) - [At-Home Urine Analysis Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urine-analysis-tool.md) - [Disease Detection Toilet Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urify.md) - [Health-Tracking Toilet Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kohler-dekoda.md)
