There are plenty of apps that remind us to drink water, or exercise, but here’s a first – a wearable device that lets you know when it’s time to use the toilet! Triple W, a California-based Japanese startup, has come up with an innovative technology that predicts bowel movements and gives users a 10-minute heads-up before needing to use the toilet. (Oh, there he goes... he's off on poop again!)
The concept might seem funny, but it could actually be a godsend for people whose work only allows for scheduled breaks, and also those who suffer from health problems like incontinence. (That's a holiday in Europe, isn't it?) All you need to do is attach the device to your stomach and connect it to an app on your smartphone.
The sensors in the device can detect any swelling in your intestines and send notifications to your phone 10 minutes in advance. The app also records bowel movements to learn your daily habits and improve the accuracy of notifications.
Well now, I've heard of everything. I did read somewhere recently about some fellow who has recorded every bowel movement he's ever had. Decided not to share that one with you though.
Let's see here... it is connected to an app on your phone so if the device connected to your belly decides that you need to go, what does it do...call you?
"This is your belly speaking. You took so long to answer your phone that you now have 9 minutes and 38 seconds to find a toidy or you are going to have an accident all over yourself. Get off your tukus and head for the Loo...now! Now! Now!"
Just be sure you are not in a meeting with the boss and have your phone on speaker mode! And you sure wouldn't want to get a "missed call 9 min 38 sec ago" notice now would you?
See ya, eh!
