JPS63267332A - Method for examining and monitoring symptoms based on excretion of human body - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To examine symptoms by analyzing examination results in a monitor center, by examining the excretion evacuated to a flash toilet bowl of a human body using a sensor and converting the examination results to signals to transmit the same to the monitor center from the sensor in the house through the telephone line. CONSTITUTION:An excretion examination sensor 5 is provided to the predetermined area of the inner surface of the flash toilet bowl 2 provided in a general house or provided to the inner surface of the curved pipe 4 connected to a discharge pipe 3. The excretion examination sensor 5 detects the data such as the current characteristics, optical characteristics and discoloration characteristics such as pH or the like of the eluted substances in excretion such as stool or urine and transmits signals to a transmitter 10 through a wiring 9. Further, said data are sent to a monitor center 8 from the transmitter 10 through the receiver in a telephone 6 via a telegraphic circuit 7 and the monitor center 8 displays and records said data to inform the same to the house 1 by a telephone.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The present invention relates to a method for testing and monitoring symptoms using human body excrement.

<Prior art and its problems> It has long been clinically recognized that feces and urine, which are human excreta, are very useful test targets for early detection of latent diseases. Tests were usually conducted in hospitals. Therefore, it is often impossible to actually contribute to the purpose of early detection. A method or system for easily testing human body excreta and monitoring symptoms at home has not yet been established.

Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention was devised to solve these problems, and is a method for automatically inspecting human excrement in a toilet bowl during daily home life. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method by which the test results can be automatically monitored at a monitoring center.

That is, the present invention uses a sensor to inspect human excrement discharged into a flush toilet in a house, and sends the inspection result as a signal from the sensor to a monitoring center via a telephone line wired to the house. and the monitoring center analyzes the test results and tests for symptoms.
This is a symptom testing and monitoring method using human excrement.

<Operation> According to the method of the present invention configured as described above, when excrement in a general household toilet bowl is flushed with water, the excrement mixes with water or dissolves in water and flows from the toilet bowl into the discharge pipe, Furthermore, it passes through the bent pipe 4 and is discharged to the sewer. In this state, an excrement inspection sensor provided on the inner surface of the toilet bowl 2 or the inner surface of the curved pipe 4 detects an abnormality in the excrement/water mixture and sends a corresponding signal. This signal is transmitted to a monitoring center through a telephone line wired to the house, and the monitoring center analyzes and processes the signal to detect abnormalities in human excrement within the house. This analysis result can be reported from the monitoring center to the above-mentioned house through the telephone line, so it is possible to immediately know who in the household is abnormal, which can lead to early detection and early treatment of potential diseases. Helpful.

<Example> As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, an excrement inspection sensor 5 is installed at a predetermined location on the inner surface of a flush toilet 2 installed inside a general house, or a bent sensor 5 connected to a discharge pipe 3 is installed. The excrement inspection sensor 5 is provided on the inner surface of the tube 4. This excrement inspection sensor 5 detects information such as current characteristics such as pH, optical characteristics, and color change characteristics of eluted substances in excreta such as feces and urine, and sends a signal to a transmitter IO via a wiring 9. do. Further, the above information is sent from the transmitter IO to the monitoring center 8 via the telephone line 7 via the receiver in the telephone 6. The monitoring center 8 displays and records this information, and reports the same information to the house 1 by telephone. In the case of an existing flush toilet 2, the bent pipe 4 and the sensor 5 can be newly installed on the discharge pipe 3, and in the case of a new toilet 2, the sensor 5 can be installed on its inner surface. A plurality of the sensors 5 can be arranged to correspond to various symptoms.

<Effects of the Invention> According to the method of the present invention, potential sick persons in the household can be detected at an early stage, which is useful for early treatment of the disease. Furthermore, since information is sent and received using existing telephone lines, it is possible to provide a relatively inexpensive system.
