Smart toilet could replace bedpan measurements in hospitals
NCT ID NCT05520346
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a special toilet device that automatically measures urine and stool output in hospital patients. About 54 adults receiving stem cell transplants will use the device during their stay. The goal is to see if the device is as accurate as nurses manually measuring output, which could save time and improve care.
