Excrement judgement system based on stool properties and amounts
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11967415B2) discloses an excrement judgment system that includes an acquisition device to gather image information of stools excreted during defecation, a determination device to identify stool types based on hardness and corresponding amounts, and an outputting device to display the associations between stool types and amounts. The system allows for the clear visualization of different stool types and their respective quantities, providing valuable insights into digestive health.
Furthermore, the patent also covers variations of the system, such as outputting total values for stools of the same type, displaying representative values based on stool types, and calculating ratios of stool amounts for a comprehensive analysis. This innovative excrement judgment system aims to revolutionize the way stool characteristics are assessed and monitored, offering a more detailed and informative approach to understanding gastrointestinal health. The system's ability to provide distinct displays of stool types and amounts can potentially aid healthcare professionals in diagnosing and treating various digestive disorders more effectively.
