Talking Toilet Tells You If Your Ill
A CHESHIRE company has invented a talking toilet that can diagnose pregnancies and medical conditions like diabetes.
The Versatile Interactive Pan has a built-in probe that can analyse urine and excrement for hormone and nutrient levels. It also has e-mail capability and can notify your doctor of any problems.
It's been dubbed the Toilet of the Future and costs £5,000. Makers Twyford Bathrooms say it could be on sale by 2006.
It also uses voice recognition so it can adjust itself to suit children and disabled people, and it even tilts to become a urinal for men.
"The VIP's technology is not new. What is pioneering is how the IT has been reproduced, into a toilet of all things," Twyford's Terry Wolliscroft is reported as saying in the Daily Record.
"It is ideal for people with health worries and establishes the humble loo as an interactive marvel."
