By Greg Ponesse | Published 2006-01-05 | Science Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-intelligent-toilet-receive-a-medical-check-up-while-doing-your-business References: [web-japan.org](http://web-japan.org/trends/science/sci050726.html) The Intelligent Toilet was jointly developed by Daiwa House Industry Co., Ltd. based in Osaka, and [Toto Ltd.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neolet), based in Kita-Kyushu. Daiwa House is marketing the product, which went on sale from April 2005, while Toto is manufacturing it. Through an array of built-in devices, the toilet instantly measures the user's [blood pressure, weight, body fat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-body-scan-2), and urine sugar level. While the user sits on the toilet, one of the devices gauges the urine sugar level, and another device built into a counter beside the toilet bowl measures blood pressure. The monitoring does not stop there. After the user gets off the toilet, a scale built into the floor measures their weight, while body fat is measured by a device built into the sink basin after the user washes their hands. Integrating all these instruments in a single place does away with the fuss of having to set up and operate separate devices whenever a person needs a health check. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Connected Health Monitoring:** The Intelligent Toilet demonstrates the trend of connected health monitoring by instantly measuring blood pressure, weight, body fat, and urine sugar levels. - **Iot-enabled Bathroom Devices:** The integration of multiple measurement devices in the Intelligent Toilet reflects the trend of IoT-enabled bathroom devices, offering convenience and efficiency in health monitoring. - **Personalized Healthcare Solutions:** The Intelligent Toilet provides personalized healthcare solutions by offering instant medical check-ups in the comfort of one's home, eliminating the need for separate devices and appointments. ### Where This Applies - **Home Health Monitoring:** The Intelligent Toilet presents an opportunity for the home health monitoring industry to create innovative integrated devices for personalized healthcare. - **Smart Bathroom Technology:** The Intelligent Toilet highlights the potential for smart bathroom technology, creating opportunities for companies to develop IoT-enabled devices for health monitoring. - **Medical Device Manufacturing:** The Intelligent Toilet opens up opportunities for the medical device manufacturing sector to collaborate with bathroom fixture companies and create innovative products for health monitoring. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Health Tracker Toilet Clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/throne-one.md) - [Smart Monitoring Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vovo-neo.md) - [Health-Tracking Toilet Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shanmu-s1.md) - [Health-Tracking Toilet Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kohler-dekoda.md) - [Futuristic Intelligent Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-toilet.md) - [Feature-Packed Smart Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neolet.md) - [Smart Toilet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-toilets.md) - [Senior Bowel Tracking Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-legacy-senior-communities.md) - [Toilet Tablet Health Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urify1.md)
