Another help for people’s health<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As explained here<\/a>, some futuristic urinals have started to appear in China. These urinals<\/a> use automated pee monitoring and analysis to help people better manage their health. Men’s public restrooms in major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, now feature these smart toilets. For about 20 yuan, or roughly $2.76 (approximately Rs 230), these urinals can rapidly and accurately analyze pee on-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Documentary director Christian Petersen-Clausen, who is stationed in Shanghai, posted a picture of one of these urinals<\/a> along with a description of his experience on Twitter. He wrote, ”Recently, health-checking urinals have begun popping up in men’s restrooms all over Shanghai. A private company is offering the urine analysis for RMB 20. Naturally, I tried that out.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”The whole process is about as easy as one might think. I paid my fee via WeChat, and before I even made it down, the escalator had my results,” he continued, posting images of the sophisticated device that displayed a guy urinating into it with a Mandarin-language explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His results, which said he lacked Calcium, were ”otherwise unremarkable,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days later, he tumbled over one more of these urinals and conducted another test. ”Apparently, I had been drinking enough milk by then. The tests seem to be rather comprehensive as well,” he wrote, informing users that his\u00a0calcium levels had gotten better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”The company seems to be installing them all over China, and given how important early detection of health issues is, I think this is quite good. I don’t think this shall replace a visit to your doctor, but it might very well prompt one. A cardiologist told me that thanks to Apple Watches he now saw more people before they had heart attacks. That’s kind of what I am hoping for here.,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
